How does the regenerative braking system work in the Kia Niro?

I've heard about regenerative braking in hybrid vehicles, but I'm not sure how it works in the Kia Niro. Can you explain the process and how it differs from traditional braking systems?

The regenerative braking system uses the car's kinetic energy to generate electricity and recharge the battery. When you press the brake pedal, the electric motor reverses its direction and acts as a generator, converting the kinetic energy into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in the battery for later use.

Unlike traditional braking systems that convert kinetic energy into heat and dissipate it into the atmosphere, the regenerative braking system in the Kia Niro is more efficient and helps to extend the overall range of the vehicle.

My advice is to take advantage of the regenerative braking system as much as possible by anticipating stops and using the eco mode to maximize energy recovery. This will not only save you money on gas but also reduce wear and tear on your brakes.
