Hi Folks, either plug braking or later regen braking has been used on electric vehicles since the 30's (mainly fork trucks etc).
A skilled driver could bring his vehicle to a halt without use of the friction brakes.
Plug braking returns no energy to the supply and can cause motor overheating. Earlier Regen systems would return a small percentage of power to the battery, more modern systems are much better
