Pressing the brake on a Prius will use regenerative braking. It only switches to friction braking if you brake extra hard, or the battery is already charged. So there's no need to "avoid the brake pedal to use regen" the way it sounds like these Bolt drivers are doing. Which seems really dangerous.
