So the instance where you have no power and need to release the e-brake should be very limited.
I think if you try it there are two function you need to over come. 1) the transmission park lock and 2) the emergency brake.

Try it put the car in park and leave the e-brake off. Mine doesn't roll. I leave it like this in winter (garaged) as I don't want the rear brake to stick.
