Most European cars already have engine braking. EV regenerative braking just maintains the behavior that folks only used to automatics forgot about. Automatics I think are still not super common in Europe.

In the UK about one third are automatic but make up three quarters of new registrations.

I don't know if EVs and hybrids are very popular in the UK but they are all automatics.

Hybrids are surely not all automatic, unless the one we own suddenly changed.
