If I had a vote it would be for that, at least as an option.

The reason is I have a proper lever between the seats for the parking/emergency brake, not the footpedal/hand release. Even now I tend to drive with my left hand at 6 o'clock on the wheel and my right hand on the brake lever.

It seems that putting it in the foot brake would be hard to modulate. The hand brake has 11-12 clicks when it's slack, 7 clicks when it's 'properly' adjusted and it takes 2-3 to engage. So there's room to engage, and then disengage if it's not a good idea to have regen on while parked.

I'm not sure how an electrical part would be added onto the existing lever.
