What do the pedal shifters do?
- woofyman 8y agoHe meant “paddle shifters”. They allow manual shifting of an automatic transmission.
- mrfusion 8y agoBut there are no gears to shift in electric.
- pjc50 8y agoTough. It's a luxury Audi, so it has paddle shifters. They just have to figure out something for them to do.
- ams6110 8y agoIn this vehicle they control the regenerative braking, i.e. make it more or less aggressive.
- mhh__ 8y agoElectric cars could have gears (e.g. Formula E) Also, the koenigsegg hybrid uses the paddles to control things other than the gear (Since AFAIK it has a CVT)
- baldeagle 8y agoI have a Chevy Bolt, and the 'brake more' paddle shifter is by far most used non-steering or acceleration control. Sometimes, I don't even need to use the foot brake at all. It reminds me of downshifting in my old Miata, without all the fun of the clutch.
