exactly how does KERS “convert” braking energy into battery power.

Does pressing the pedal mechanically/hydraulically move spinning magnets on the hub nearer other magnets to create electricity?

It’s not using ‘braking energy’ the way it sounds.

What’s actually happening is that the generator used to generate the power provides a resistance to the drivetrain, thus slowing the car down. It has nothing to do with the disc brakes.
