I get that on my ebike!
(although the top speed and rain protection is somewhat less!!!)
are you sure there is not a setting buried in the menus that adjusts it??
EV's, regenerative braking, and brake lights.

Interesting discussion. Surprised no-one has mentioned the new fangled "Cruise Control", which (on my car at least) will automatically slow the car to match the speed of a slower vehicle in the same lane (once you are within a certain distance of said vehicle), if you move to overtake the slower vehicle, it automatically returns the car to the set cruising speed. No idea if these changes cause the brake lights to be illuminated, but, I assume the initial slowing causes the brake lights to be illuminated.
Maybe it is an age thing, but, in my petrol or diesel cars, I often relieved the tedium of long motorway hauls (particularly in mainland Europe) by maintaining progress without touching the brakes.

Mine does that to
some level of "intelligence" but not enough at times
for example - if the car in front is slowing down then it is great for controlling your speed and maintaining a distance - which you can set
but if you move right to pass them then it takes a couple of seconds to realise and accelerate up to the set speed again
Actually quite dangerous if you are don;t know what it will do
if you press the accelerator it allows you to go faster- which is great for a short temr increase to pass someone
but it you increase speed a lot - then take your foot off the accelerator then it slows down far too dramatically rather then slowing down gradually
too many bits on the car where you have to drive around the cars system rather than the systems following your desires!!!
(no - I didn;t make any comments it being like marriage - stop spreading rumours!!!)
I use my active cruise control a lot, in fact I would never buy another car that did not have it fitted.

Yes, I like it too, I wasn’t complaining about, just surprised no-one had mentioned it.

Yes - so do I
I just had to get used to - and learn to drive around - its eccentricities
It seems to be in charge - so I tend to drive with my finger on the cancel button a lot
It is very useful though

Adaptive cruise control is available on quite a few ICE cars as well, it isn't just an EV thing.

Yes, my car is a hybrid
I may have miss understood, I thought the main discussion was activation of brake lights, because of “automatic” systems?

EV's are rubbish

As rubbish as your apostrophe? Actually my EV is amazing.
My car is a diesel Skoda.
Unless that is a bit of humour why do you think that?

Indeed, I love mine and it's only going to make way for a campervan. Mrs D's EV remains.
Certainly as far as cars go we'd never go back.
