Yes, but electric motor regen usually does not work all the way down to zero mph. Usually it stops somewhere around 5-10mph, and the friction brakes take over. Slow rolling traffic that fluctuates between something like 10-30mph is very efficient, but stop and go traffic fluctuating between 0-20mph is pretty inefficient.
