I just bought my Leaf and had it inspected by the local Nissan dealership before sealing the deal.
Something that came up was that they recommended that I change my break fluid a little earlier than recommended because "regenerative breaking is a fluid heavy process." But isn't regen braking just reversing the polarity on the electric motors? Is there even ANY fluid involved in this process?
What I've found online confirms my suspicion that the service personnel were full of it, but I don't want to be wrong about it.
