Or even just HEV and PHEVs with slightly larger battery packs.

You don't even need a huge battery pack for dynamic braking. It's the architecture of hybrid cars that allows them to regeneratively brake, even if the battery is full, by using the engine as a pump. Although this doesn't arise in practice, hybrids could dynamically brake down a grade of any length, which BEVs can't guarantee.

It’s not about battery pack. It’s about size of the electrical motor.
