Usually, when you break, your speed gets turned into heat on your break pads. This is waste. With regenerative breaking when you hit the breaks and your unwanted momentum gets converted into electricity.

It works best for electric cars, but you could transfer the energy into a flywheel and use in traditional petrol cars too.
