Regenerative braking uses an electric vehicle's motor as a generator to convert much of the kinetic energy lost when decelerating back into stored energy in the vehicle's battery. ... Basically, the most efficient way to drive any vehicle
would be to accelerate to a constant speed and then never touch the
brake pedal.

Regen slows the car through the motor, it does not use the brake pads at all. ... An electric motor also acts as a generator when it is used for slowing the car down, storing the energy in batteries rather than losing it as heat through friction between brake discs and brake pads. Much more efficient and saves your pads.Oct 29, 2013

When the conventional vehicle brakes, the energy is lost to heat energy resulting from the friction between the brake pads and wheels. Regenerative braking allows the range of the EV to be extended; however, the efficiency of capturing this energy is reported to vary from 16% to 70% (Boretti, 2013).
