Coasting to a stop is ultimately more efficient than using regen to stop.
But the world isn't perfect - sometimes you misjudge and have to brake. Or there's following traffic, and you don't want to hold them up. Or you're going downhill and want to rein in your speed.
I'd love to have regen ability on the ForkenSwift. Even if it only makes a small difference (given the way I already drive to minimize brake use), it bugs me when I do have to get on the binders. Don't like converting electrons to brake dust!
