    You beat me to it, regenerative braking is strong in modern EVs. In several of them you can one-foot drive them, meaning take your foot off the throttle pedal, and the generator(s) will start harvesting hard enough to slow the car to a stop, charging the batteries the whole time. You only need the brake to emergency stop. And if you do choose to brake, you are just harvesting even more energy.
