    Regen braking and one pedal driving is incredible greatly improving handling on curves.Makes driving a gasoline powered car seem like a horse and buggy.

    it’s the same as engine breaking in a car with a clutch

      Except you actually get energy back into the vehicle with regen. It’s incredibly smooth as well.

      Same, but engine braking isn’t as strong, as regen can provide up to 0.25 G of deceleration. Engine braking also doesn’t fill up the gas tank while decelerating.

    If I’m doing city driving I use One Pedal but on the highway I use auto regeneration. Hyundai Ioniq 6. I love my EV

    My assumption is that at lower speeds lifting off the pedal engages the brake lights. Is that right?

    June 5, 2024 at 8:53 am

    Awesome is what it is. Remember ditching the clutch? Well now we ditch the brake pedal too ????rarely need to use it. It’s more of an emergency brake now than anything else. As a Tesla owner we got the feature for free over the air after owning the car for 2 something years. Amazing!

    I have a 2024 BMW IX and the range is a lie! Even without one pedal driving, the real life range is between 320 and 420 miles depending on drive mode. You can increase this by using Brake mode or one pedal driving. After the initial awkwardness of the one pedal driving, it becomes addictive to use. Similar level of feel and control of using a manual transmission. I use it even though I do not need the extra range

    Hasn’t Tesla been doing this forever?

    Is the feel of one-pedal driving much different from driving a manual transmission car? Granted, I know there is no such thing as regeneration with an internal combustion engine.

    Kudos to Antuan! He must have worked very hard to get rid of that lisp. Great video and very accurate based on our experience with our EV. The fatigue factor and microadjustments to speed causing car sickness is very true so whenever possible, we use the cruise control.

    It’s one of the best things about an EV. I will go weeks without touching my brake pedal in my Model Y. I really miss it in the winter when there is a lot less regen.

  14. @MadhavKishore

    June 5, 2024 at 11:50 am

    The problem I have with one pedal driving is the fact that it builds a habit of not using the break pedal as much. This could result in you loosing the muscle memory to break. This becomes a problem in emergency and when you are driving an ICE car.

  15. @Chewbucksa

    June 5, 2024 at 12:05 pm

    Is this why I hate driving behind Teslas? They slow down rapidly without the brake lights.

  16. @ALMX5DP

    June 5, 2024 at 4:20 pm

    I’m sure it works but why make it one pedal? Wouldn’t it be more intuitive to utilize both pedals to have finer control for regeneration?

    My condolences to everyone who bought an EV just to lose 40% of the car value in a month.
