Then it's not the same type "regenerative" system that hybirds use, as I suspected. The forward momentum of the car is being turned into energy without the use of fuel soley because the wheels are turning the engine and therefore the alternator during deceleration . It's somewhat of a misnomer because braking really has nothing to do with it.
