I've only familiar with the Hyundai Ioniq and the Chevy Bolt, but both those cars can be configured for that - the Chevy Bolt you only have to ensure it is not in one-pedal driving, which is just a button near the shifter, and the Hyundai Ioniq you just have to set the regen to zero. It's a failure of the rental place that these electric vehicles are not set up in such a way to match the mental model of a usual driver

The Chevy Bolt has it's brake lights come on automatically regardless of what is causing the deceleration, and I believe Hyundai is coming out with an OTA fix for that as well.

When you drive the electric car every day, it's nice using the one-pedal mode... Except it has taught me a large flaw in that my instant braking reaction is to depress the regen paddle, which doesn't work (only 10kW of effort) when the car batteries are well below -20 C, causing me to panic and brake too hard using the traditional hydraulic brakes.
