When decelerating at speeds up to 84 mph, the gasoline engine can be decoupled from the drivetrain so that more kinetic energy can be recovered by the regenerative braking system.
This causes the car to decelerate more quickly, with an engine braking sensation, but it isn't as dramatic as I've experienced in some electrics.

But if you pull the gear shift lever back one more notch, you get a lot more regenerative braking when you decelerate.
The batteries are also recharged by braking and decelerating.
The lithium - ion battery provides the necessary electrical power for the belt - alternator starter, and the battery itself is recharged by the concept car's regenerative braking function: when decelerating, the fuel is shut off and the vehicle's kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy.
By releasing the accelerator, the car will decelerate and come to a complete stop, even hill holding, without the need to press the brake pedal.
When the battery needs to be charged or when decelerating or braking, the alternator is activated to recharge the battery (regenerative braking).
