The first vehicle with a regen steering wheel paddle was the 2014 Cadillac ELR, followed by the Chevy Volt and Chevy Bolt in 2016.

Their implementation of the paddle shifter was not the shiftable kind [1]. It was a lever you had to continually press to hold regen. Imagine your hand cramping up trying to keep it engaged. To this day GM has this odd implementation.
