I have a 2015 leaf. Put in ECO mode, then switch to B (braking) instead of D (drive). Plenty of regen for 1 pedal driving. Also, tapping the brake turns on the regen in normal D mode, without moving the brake calipers.
Supposedly, there is a recall mandated by NTSB that will mess up this 1 pedal driving. The NTSB does not like it because the brake lights do not turn on. I'm not having that done.
What I don't like is the "creep" that they put in to emulate an automatic (torque converter).

- madengr 9y agoSure, but they can't be brought to a stop with engine breaking.
- LeifCarrotson 9y ago"Braking". It can definitely come to a grinding, flaming halt with engine breaking. (Sorry, that typo is a bit of a pet peeve). And you can easily get down to 5mph with engine braking, which is more than slow enough to be a problem if you don't have brake lights on.
- jstanley 9y ago> tapping the brake turns on the regen in normal D mode, without moving the brake calipers. Surely I'm not the only one terrified by this? Is there seriously a computer sitting between the pedal and the pads, and the pads don't move unless the computer says so?
