Scenario 1: Low speed - Power is provided by electric motor using energy supplied by the DC battery
Scenario 3: High speed Power is provided by IC engine and electric motor via generator. Generator also charge battery during high speed.

When the driver brakes most of the kinetic energy is still converted to heat energy but a portion is treated differently and is stored up in
the car.
When the driver presses his boost button that stored energy is converted back into kinetic energy The mechanical KERS system utilises flywheel technology to recover and store a moving vehicles kinetic energy which is otherwise wasted when the vehicle is decelerated.
Flywheel of K.E.R.S.
Made of steel and carbon fibre which rotates at over 60,000 RPM. 60 kW power transmission in either storage or recovery 400 kJ of usable storage
During this stage when the driver pushes the boost button the flywheel acts as a propulsion motor and discharges the energy to the wheels The Flywheel rotor is decelerated during boost discharge mode and the energy is converted back. Flywheel acts as a generator and sending energy back to electric motor, which works as propulsion motor.
Reduction in pollution
Railway vehicle The Delhi Metro saved around 90,000 tons of carbon
This has been exhibited in the Motor sport industry The system used by F1 cars
is called K. E. R. S. (Kinetic Energy Recovery System)
Wear Reduction
An electric drive train also allows for regenerative braking which increases Efficiency and reduces wear on the vehicle brakes because it reduces braking noise and brake dust.
halt.
The friction brake is a necessary back-up in the event of failure of the regenerative brake. Most road vehicles with regenerative braking only have power on some wheels (as in a 2WD car) and regenerative braking power only applies to such wheels, so in order to provide controlled braking under difficult conditions (such as in wet roads) friction based braking is necessary on the other wheels.
Conclusion
The energy efficiency of a conventional brake is only about 20 percent, with the remaining 80 percent of its energy being converted to heat through friction. The miraculous thing about regenerative braking is that it may be able to capture as much as half of that wasted energy and put it back to work. This reduces fuel consumption by 10 to 25 percent. Hence regenerative braking plays an important role in fuel consumption and also in the field of speed.
