  "term": "Regenerative braking",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A braking method where the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle is converted into electrical energy and stored for later use or fed back into a power grid. This process slows the vehicle by operating its electric motor as a generator. The efficiency of regenerative braking varies, with some systems recovering over 70% of the kinetic energy.",
