I was shocked to learn Tesla has zero regen with brake pedal use, which basically forces use of 1-pedal mode to recapture as much of that kinetic energy as possible when slowing.
Assuming the bolt is similar to the volt, braking in neutral provides no regen, must be in drive or low. If you are regen braking in drive and shift to neutral, the car will give a very apparent lurch as the mechanical brakes engage quickly to make up for the lost regen braking force.
