excellent. My info came from
https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-safety/brake-lights-can-fail-to-provide-fair-warning-on-some-evs-a9533519285/#:~:text=While%20most%20of%20the%20EVs,Hyundai%20Ioniq%205%20SEL%20AWD
which states that most will do but some don't:
While most of the EVs in CR’s fleet did illuminate their brake lights
appropriately during aggressive regenerative braking, several of them did
not, even when deceleration levels were considered more aggressive. Those
include:

2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL AWD
2023 Genesis GV60 Advanced
2023 Genesis Electrified GV70
2022 Kia EV6 Wind AWD
2023 Kia Niro EV Wind
