How does the Audi e-Tron conserve energy while braking?

I'm interested in the technical aspects of the Audi e-Tron. Can you explain how it uses regenerative braking to capture energy and store it in the battery?

The Audi e-Tron uses a combination of regenerative braking and mechanical braking to efficiently capture energy while decelerating. This energy is then used to recharge the battery, reducing the need to rely on external charging sources and increasing overall efficiency.

During regenerative braking, the vehicle's electric motor acts as a generator, converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy which is then stored in the battery. This not only helps conserve energy, but also reduces wear and tear on the brake pads and extends their lifespan.
