After driving Insights for years, you become acutely aware of the surrounding drivers, lol! I always keep them in mind & sight when I'm using regen.

And yeah, you can make tailgaters crap themselves should you ever want to! The difference between the Volt and my Insights is that in the Volt I can put it in sport mode and just lose them if I want to

Now there's an idea! Have the brake lights "flash" proportionately with deceleration rate, ie: flashing very slowly when coasting, and increasingly faster up to 100% ON when the brakes are activated.
I was thinking of a installing a "regenerating" or "charging"green LED sign in the back window as I slow. There's probably a way to power it only when the battery is getting juiced
