some vehicles have regenerative breaking, so that if you vehicle went down hill, you you could, through electromagnetic induction (magnets passing past a coil, creating a current), you can transfer some of that gravitational potential energy into electrical energy that way.

Power is defined as energy per time. If you have an energy source and you consume the energy in short time, then there will be a lot of power flowing out of the source. If you consume slowly, the power flow will be small but long-term.
