electricity for storage in the battery pack.
Under deceleration and
braking, Regenerative
Braking Mode allows kinetic energy to be converted back into
electricity by the motor and inverter and is stored in the battery.

under braking and feed
electricity to a flywheel - based storage unit next to the driver.
To recieve the quattro designation reserved for Audi's all - wheel drive cars, the R18 e-tron recovers kinetic energy on the front axle
under braking and is fed as
electricity into a flywheel accumulator which is then put down to the front wheels
