Mild hybrids are cars that combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) with a small electric generator/motor to improve their fuel efficiency. The hybrid system is powered by a 48-volt battery that's recharged using regenerative braking, which captures energy during coasting and braking. While the electrical system is recharged this way, the 12V battery that powers the car's accessories still needs to be charged separately. This battery runs almost all of the car's functions, such as air conditioning, lights, radio, and windows.
