Both are "braking by engine" effects, but that's the limit of the analogy. Beyond that, it's completely different - internal combustion engine keeps burning fuel, while the electric engine acts as a generator and pumps some energy back.

As for the liberal/literal translation "razlikuju se kao dupe i oko" literally means "they differ like ass and eye", or liberally "they are as different from each other as the ass is different from the eye". Chiaro?
