What’s Regenerative Braking, Anyway?
Picture this: You’re gliding down the road, foot barely brushing the brake. Instead of wasting energy, your Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle is doing something clever—it’s turning that momentum into electricity and sending it right back into the battery.
Think of it like a mini energy-recycling plant built right into your wheels. As you coast or gently tap the brake, the electric motor flips into generator mode. The result? A few more miles added to your range without touching a charging cable.

“Wait… you’re telling me I can charge the battery just by driving smarter?”
Yes, exactly!
Try easing off the accelerator early when you see a red light ahead. Anticipating stops instead of rushing and slamming the brakes gives the system more time to recapture energy. And when you’re stuck in traffic? That’s actually a win. Use the DAuto mode, which adjusts regenerative braking automatically based on conditions.
