GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!! j/k

Regenerative braking greatly reduces using brake pads to slow down the car plus it feeds energy back into the battery.

I am also of the belief if you drive to maximize regenerative braking it also makes for safer driving. I find that I am slowing down from a further distance than when I use the brakes.
