The Prius (plug-in) slightly regens at any speed above 7 MPH, and only "creeps" below that.

You can quite rapidly add miles to an EV by towing it and applying regen braking. This is no more risky than towing any other vehicle, and has been used by some to avoid needing a full tow to a destination.
