calls it e-Pedal, and some simply have a button or setting with a symbol. The setting allows a driver to recapture as much electricity as possible to return it to the vehicle. Braking produces a lot of energy, and in internal combustion engine vehicles, it’s lost to heat through brake pads. EVs already recapture that energy, and one-pedal driving allows them to do so even more aggressively.
If you’ve driven a car with a manual transmission, you know you can engine brake by gearing down. Brakes usually last longer in a manual for this reason. Butwill also have told you that you still have to tap your brakes as you’re gearing down because otherwise, you are just another unpredictable idiot that nobody can trust. The problem for manufacturers, or at least the challenge, is to remove as many hurdles as possible between idiots and other drivers.
