Motors are also generators!
An incidental effect of Formula 1 cars becoming hybrids with energy storage and return is that they have the means to restart if they stall around the circuit.
More mundane EVs save on brake pads because braking up to say 30% of maximum is done just using regeneration.
It only regains two thirds of the energy though, so perpetual motion remains impossible.
