        abstract = {This report presents a comprehensive study on the integration of a Regenerative Braking System (RBS) with an Advanced Battery System to maximize energy efficiency in electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs/HEVs). Standard braking mechanisms dissipate vast amounts of kinetic energy as wasted thermal energy through friction. This project investigates a mechanism that captures this kinetic energy during deceleration, converts it into electrical energy using a motor-generator unit, and stores it back into a high-capacity lithium-ion or solid-state battery pack .The core methodology focuses on utilizing a bidirectional DC-DC converter managed by an intelligent Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to safely regulate high-current spikes generated during sudden braking events. A primary challenge addressed is balancing optimal energy capture with battery degradation caused by rapid charging phases. The evaluation reveals that incorporating an advanced battery management framework increases overall vehicle driving range by 15% to 25%, significantly reduces mechanical brake wear, and optimizes thermal performance. Ultimately, this integration proves essential for advancing sustainable, highly efficient, and next-generation green transportation infrastructure.},
