Thank you Peri, this clarifies things, at least for me. I compared this before to regenerative braking. On second thought, that wasn't so good. When you slow down your vehicle, you WANT to decrease its kinetic energy. Regen turns (some of) the KE into electricity instead of heat. That's a good thing. But this is different. You've explained why very well.
