In an emergency when I get into an accident and my controller fails or
a fuse blows I want to be able to stop my car quickly with the
mechanical brakes - I do not want to rely on regen braking. Even if
everything is still working, when I've just been rear ended or
whatever, I want to put my foot on the floor and get the heck out of
the car, not fumble for the regen control. I know, I've been there,
regen or not
