The notion of lifting up on the accelerator is a different concept in an electric car vs a combustion engine.

The energy can easily go somewhere. You can just put it through larger resistors or UltraCaps.

Not really if you've ever driven a manual transmission. Regen usually is stronger but the drive feel is not dissimilar.
