Braking methods are techniques used to slow down or stop a vehicle. The most common method is hydraulic braking, which uses fluid pressure to activate brake pads against the wheels. This system is found in most modern vehicles and provides effective stopping power. Another method is regenerative braking, often used in electric vehicles like Tesla. This system captures energy during braking and converts it back into electricity, which can recharge the vehicle's battery. Regenerative braking improves energy efficiency and extends the driving range of electric cars.
