I generally have a concern that if I am slowing rapidly that those behind me should have some warning. Others here have expressed that they use D when in traffic so that they will have to use their brakes to slow down in traffic, thus warning drivers behind them.
Given this, perhaps it makes sense to also have the brake lights come on beyond a certain level of regenerative braking, even if the driver does not have their foot on the brake pedal. That seems to match the intent of the brake lights.
Perhaps it could come on beyond 25 kW of regeneration and go off below about 20, giving it a fair amount of hysteresis so that it does not flicker on and off to quickly.
I can imagine this might eventually become a requirement as future EVs may have significantly more regenerative braking power than the current crop.
Thoughts?
