^^^ The paddles can use the engine to brake and charge the battery at the same time. It's a way of getting the main battery up to full charge. But it's also fun to use instead of the brake. (it will not work to come to a fast complete stop)

I think some EV's use regenerative braking just by lifting on the gas/go pedal....they call it 'one pedal driving'.
