Yes I know, the only time it could possibly be used would be during touch down (or rejected take off) as part of the overall braking effort.
I was more trying to show that the presence of an electric motor (and no independant brakes on nose wheels) does not mean there is no possibility of "braking" those wheels, again as part of the overall braking action of the aircraft.
