Degenerative Braking systems for Hybrid Cars are quite unique indeed and that is a really good use of kinetic energy, considering if you do not make energy with it, it is wasted. Just like when you step on the gas you use energy to propel you, when you step on the brake pedal you take away energy. But where does it go? Well the energy turns into heat, noise (squeaking) and wear on your brake pads.

Shouldn’t all cars and trucks have degenerative braking systems to charge up an additional set of batteries on the car to power up other systems? Sure this makes sense and if the electrical system was a high power than the normal 12 volt systems then the batteries could run other things on the car and improve fuel mileage by not over taxing the reciprocating engine with all sorts of other extra stuff on the car.
