Not sure how this can save much energy if you have regen. My 2014 Chevy Volt has 95,000 miles and the brake pads are like new. The only time I use the brakes is at the very end of stopping and holding the vehicle at a traffic light so it doesn't creep forward.
I, too, am puzzled by what possible benefit this "break through" might offer. Maybe someone will explain to me.
However, I'm not certain that regen will bring a car to a stop. I agree that Teslas, Bolts, and Volts will come to a stop without the use of the brake pedal. I suspect that the cars are applying brakes at lower speeds and the "throttle" is off.
