You could also look for a accelerometer based switch. I've seen bike
tail lights that use one. Pretty effective !

redscooter,
I have seen tail-light assemblies for motorcycles that turn on when the
vehicle slows. I would imagine that somebody makes an aftermarket circuit
box to do that for you. A relay and a mercury tip-switch could give you
that function also, maybe using bolt-on LED displays instead of the OEM
brake lights. That would avoid tinkering with the stock brake lights and
wiring.

when drivers use strong 1 pedal regen driving in traffic the brakes

this can cause possible rear ending. I'm used to following gasers that
there brake light show much more. my older leaf has weaker regen so I
must use brakes , which shows drivers behind me, i'm stopping or
slowing.
i also flash my brake lights when slowing in heavy traffic.
someone needs to work on a fix for brake lights to come on under heavy
regen.
