To be clear, I agree that single pedal with hold can cover most cases. BUT, single pedal regen doesn't use the maximum possible braking power (which would be full regen + full friction braking). My earlier comments are specific to the maximum braking power scenario (which should just be used for emergency braking, and that should not be how a person is driving on a regular basis). A smooth driver should hardly need the brakes, even in a Prius or early Leaf, both of which have very limited Regen capabilities. For the maximum power scenario, a separate braking pedal is still needed. > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
