ELECTRICAL BRAKING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE

An electrical braking system for an electrified vehicle includes a battery system, an electric motor, an electrical energy management module and a controller. The electric motor is powered by the battery system and transfers drive torque to a driveline for propulsion of the vehicle and that selectively directs regenerative power to the battery system during regenerative braking in a first mode. The electrical energy management module has a first energy recovery system that stores additional energy from the regenerative power harnessed from the electric motor in a second mode and a first energy dissipation system that dissipates additional energy from the regenerative power in a third mode. The controller receives an input from a brake pedal indicative of a braking event of the electrified vehicle and, responsive to the input, determines whether to direct the regenerative power in at least one of the first, second and third modes.
