The engine is not generating power, but the car is moving and the electronics are still on.

And how does bump starting "slow down the RPMs". Since you use momentum to start the stopped engine, bump starting, by definition, increases the RPMs (from 0 to 700ish for idle)

A more accurate description would be uses momentum, i.e. slows down the car.
