Try it in a Volt!
In "L" the car slows a lot quicker than engine braking, depending on your right foot's input on the gas pedal, but it doesn't turn on the brake lights. My Insight had a brake regen button I installed that turned on the brake lights when I hit the regen button, but the Volt just slows like you downshifted a couple of gears without any warning to people behind you. Sometimes I'll tap the brake pedal with my left foot just so the guy behind me has a little heads up
If I could come up with a way to make that big triangle reverse light turn green during regen that would probably help, at least the people behind me would know something was up. Wish I was smart enough to make that happen!
Actually, I wish the engineers had thought that out a little better.
