It would not, but it did bring it down to a crawl of maybe 3-5 mph.

Newer models have much stronger regen all the way down to 0mph.

The main issue with relying on regen is reduced regen power when the battery is cold. For a mail truck I think a stronger battery heater while plugged in, or a braking resistor to turn regen power into battery heat, would be helpful.
