I was driving a new 7 in eco pro yesterday and was so confused by the "charge" function in the dash. When applying the breaks, the car tells me it's charging as if it's a hybrid... but it's not.

Is it trying to tell me that it's using braking to recharge the battery? If so, does this actually have a substantial impact on fuel economy? I can't imagine the benefits are that extreme considering the battery doesn't power the motor.
