Correction for spelling:

So, if an EV uses 10kw to go a certain speed, then brakes, it will use 10kw to stop, again either through fiction etc or braking. Any charging effect can only be less than the 10kw output, considering those same losses due to waste friction, electrical resistance, inefficiencies of the charging/battery system etc.

kw is power, not energy.

The charging during braking will be less than that during acceleration but it is still charging.

The ICE is burning fuel during braking. The EV is generating new fuel during braking.
