[QUOTE="Borg, post: 5446513, member: 185214"] In [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_brake#Conversion_to_electric_energy:_the_motor_as_a_generator']regenerative braking[/URL], the motor is just functioning as a generator of electricity when you brake. Consider the motors at a hydroelectic power plant. The water from a dam flows through the turbines and the motors generate electricity. This is equivalent to the car example when the moving car is forcing the generator to turn and the generated electricity is stored in the battery. You could theoretically reverse the process in a hydroelectric plant by supplying electricity to the motors and force the water uphill. This is similar to the motors a car being supplied electricity from the battery to force the car to move. [/QUOTE]
