A) it’s the secondary braking system to ever better regen braking systems that are taking most of the energy, and b) my camper trailer weighs about that and can not only stop its self, but can drag the truck to a stop too.
Edit, to clarify, disk brakes were not invented for increased power but better heat dissipation - which isn’t an issue on an EV.
You are not stopping 5400lbs on drum brakes.

You are, eventually, and into a brick wall!
No, you stop it with the electric generator.
Maybe with 200lbs drums?
