What is the difference between regenerative braking and traditional braking in an Audi e-Tron?

I am curious about the braking system in the Audi e-Tron and how it differs from traditional vehicles. Can anyone explain the concept of regenerative braking and how it works in this electric car?

Regenerative braking is a feature in the Audi e-Tron that allows for the recapture of energy that is typically lost during braking. This energy is then used to recharge the battery, making your drive more efficient. My personal advice is to always make use of this feature by braking lightly and steadily, rather than abruptly.

Traditional braking uses friction to slow down the car, which results in energy being lost as heat. With regenerative braking, the electric motor acts as a generator, converting the car's kinetic energy into electrical energy. To maximize the benefits of this system, try to coast or let the car slow down on its own instead of applying the brakes.
