Honda Regenerative Brake Service
If you own or lease an electric vehicle or a hybrid model, chances are you’ll occasionally need routine Honda service for your regenerative brake system. So, what exactly is regenerative braking, and how what does service for this system entail? Here’s everything you need to know from your friends at Casey Honda.
What is Regenerative Braking?
Regenerative braking is a technology that converts your vehicle’s kinetic energy into electricity anytime you slow down or stop. The electrical energy is transferred to your car or SUV’s battery and can be used to power your vehicle as you drive. This braking system is found in all-electric and hybrid Honda models.
How to Tell When Your Regenerative Braking System Needs Attention
All vehicles have brakes; all of them, even cutting-edge regenerative braking systems, need occasional preventative and routine maintenance. Here are a few ways to tell that you need urgent brake service:
- Warning lights on your dashboard illuminate
- You hear squealing or grinding when you decelerate
- Your vehicle doesn’t slow down or stop as quickly as it should
Bad brakes present a considerable safety hazard. If you notice any of these symptoms, come to our Honda dealership in Newport News, VA, immediately so we can perform a thorough inspection and fix what’s needed to keep your car safe.

Not only will our expert technicians ensure that components like your brake pads and rotors are in good condition, but we’ll also test your entire system, so you have the confidence that your regenerative brakes are sending power to the battery and appropriately storing it to provide you with power later on.
