Anecdotal evidence here - I drive a 2013 Nissan Leaf, and with its "B-Mode" (a drive mode that engages regenerative braking more strongly when you let off the accelerator pedal), I can do much more "braking"/slowing down in regular driving without engaging the friction brakes. Frequently, when approaching a stop light I can simply let off the gas and coast/regen down from 45mph to 15-10mph and then engage the friction brakes to stop.
