2023 Tesla Model 3- consumer wrote about comparison of braking mode to non-ev's, experience driving a rented ev (electrical vehicle) w/ braking mode and suggestions to make ev's braking mode safer. When ev's accelerator is not pressed the ev goes into regenerative braking mode. No brake lights are triggered because brake pedal wasn't pressed. Consumer listed two "real world dangers". Consumer recommendation- the regenerative braking of ev's should also trigger brake lights notifying vehicles behind the ev that the pace of the vehicle is slowing with the same force. As if brakes where applied.
