I've had my Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for 4 years now it doesn't have a gearbox so you can't "change gears" you can have a lot or a little regen controlled by paddles the only time you get no regen is when the car is fully charged via charger AC or DC.
It's a bit disconcerting when I leave the office with a full charged car having to actually use the brakes.
It has a power meter on the dash as well as a range meter for both electric and fuel along with a gauge for the fuel and battery. If you want to see the energy flow you can bring that up on the display.
When driving long distance I will be changing the Regen to suit my needs you don't even consciously think about it.
You can set the car to charge the batteries whilst driving or as I do set it to save mode where it uses the batteries to reduce the need for the engine to provide the power on acceleration or steep hills it then recovers the energy going down hill or slowing.
Both acceleration and breaking are a combination of the electric motors and the engine/ brakes you can't feel which it's seemless.

It's rare and desirable
