1 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2017

This electric car has regenerative braking. Besides being in the regular braking, there is a pure regenerative braking paddle on the steering wheel. But when you use this brake, the brake lights to not turn on. This is a major hazard as I use this brake all the time and cars behind me do not know I am braking and have almost rear ended me. Chevy dealer says that is the way it is designed and is functioning perfectly. Why has this been approved to design a braking system without any warning lights? what can be done about this?.
