A brake is a device for slowing or stopping the motion of a machine or vehicle, and to keep it from starting to move again.
Alternatively, in regenerative braking, much of the energy is recovered and stored in a flywheel, capacitor or turned into alternating current by an alternator, then rectified and stored in a battery for later use.
The brakes must therefore dissipate four times as much energy to stop it and consequently the braking distance is four times longer.
