That is mostly true about regenerative braking as well. Once you hit a certain speed the vehicle has to use some energy to get the motors to actually stop the vehicle. Usually EVs and such will just rely on the friction brakes for the last bit but some cars like the Bolt will automatically use some energy to slow the car to a stop so you can use do one pedal driving.

Good point, and a good reason to have friction brakes also installed.
