How does the regenerative braking system work on the Nissan Leaf?

I've heard that the Nissan Leaf has a regenerative braking system, but I'm not sure how it works. Can you explain it to me?

The regenerative braking system on the Nissan Leaf captures energy that is typically lost during braking and uses it to recharge the battery. This allows for longer range and increased efficiency.

I've found that the regenerative braking system on the Nissan Leaf doesn't feel too different from a traditional braking system. It just means you'll have to replace brake pads less frequently!
