Bin gosh ... isn't this just a story of configuration and systematic regeneration (see the macro "more or less")? Because physically it is not coherent at all! All the brushless motors I have have almost no motor braking ... and the braking of any electric motor is weak compared to its thermal equivalent.
When stopped, you can generally turn a 100 kW electric motor by hand (slowly but it turns) ... something unthinkable with a heat engine of the same power ... since there is much more internal friction and of parts to be moved ...
