Sounds like Dynamic Braking? I retired from the transit system here that used both DC and later AC electric power. They used dynamic braking which basically turns the motor into a generator when the 'throttle' is set to zero. The weight of the vehicle drives the generator and naturally slows the car. In some cases the power generated is sent back to it's source to be used. In other cases it's run through a large resistor grid and disposed of as heat.
Sounds like they are incorporating that feature into recharging the batteries.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
