What is the difference between regenerative braking and traditional braking in Audi e-Tron?

I have heard that regenerative braking is a key feature in electric vehicles like the Audi e-Tron. How does it differ from traditional braking and what benefits does it provide?

Regenerative braking, also known as energy recuperation, is a technology that uses the vehicle's electric motor to slow down the car and convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in the battery for later use. Traditional braking, on the other hand, uses friction to slow down the car, which results in the dissipation of energy as heat. In the Audi e-Tron, regenerative braking can help increase the range of the vehicle and reduce wear on the traditional braking system.
