Comment on Hertz Is Selling 20,000 Used EVs Due To High Repair Costs
criticon@lemmy.ca 1 year agoI’ve only driven EVs a few times for benchmarking but every time I have a hard time adjusting to the single pedal driving. I’m sure you get used to it soon, but if you are just renting short term or may be not enough time to adjust

Wait which cars have single pedal? On forklifts and such it’s my most hated configuration.

From what I have seen on YouTube they all have both pedals, but some have the option for regenerative breaking (single pedal).

They have two pedals, but with EVs you basically brake when you remove your for from the “gas” pedal

Oh so regen on release. Not my favourite config. I was experimenting with regen on a front motor ebike before and the best way for my comfort that I found was a slider that controls regen amount so you can either coast/bomb hills, or have a similar feeling to gearing down on a stick shift car when the slider is turned up.

This is always a user-enabled option. On the Chevy Bolt, it’s a button on the center console that you have to activate every time you turn it on.

The presence of the setting is appreciated, but not saving config or even just being a physical toggle switch is cursed.

Except Tesla, where regen power is always at the maximum level.
