Heat and kinetic energy recovered can be consumed immediately if required, or used to charge the Energy Store, or battery. The MGU-H, acting as a generator, will recover energy from the exhaust and pass to the MGU-K (or the battery in case it needs recharging). The turbocharger will be rotating at maximum speed (100,000 rpm).
