You have analog control over the regen braking with the accelerator pedal. Push down to accelerate, lift up a little to maintain current speed, lift up a little more to start slowing down, lift off all the way for maximum regen. It takes a week or two to unlearn the habit of "popping" your foot off the accelerator anytime you want to coast without necessarily slowing down, but after that it basically feels like your right foot is directly connected to the speedometer in both directions.

If you judge distances well you can still pop your foot. The deceleration curve is optimized to be smooth (minimize jerk?).

  After a week you can judge pretty well. I use my brake pedal maybe once a week nowdays unless i'm driving alone and wanna feel some Gs.

    Is it hard to switch back and forth between a normal car after that?

      Hard? No. Irritating? Not surprisingly. I've had ICE loaners when my car is in for repair, and missing "one pedal driving" happens a lot, but it doesn't stop me from operating the ICE vehicle. Perhaps weirdly the thing I think it makes the hardest is possibly videogames, which exaggerate controls in their own ways. I've gotten very frustrated with braking in most difficulty settings in the Forza series after driving an EV with "one pedal driving" capability for years now.

      Brakes are easy compared to keys. I keep getting out of ICE cars and just leave them running. Whoa, you need to tell a car you got out? Why?

I own two very different motorcycles, a Ducati Monster900 (a 900cc twin four stroke) and a Cagiva Mito (a 125cc single cylinder 2 stroke). The Mito, you can let go of the throttle, have it snap back to zero, and you barely slow down at all no matter what gear it's in. There's practically no engine braking at all. If you want to slow down you have to grab the brakes. The Monster, in lower gears, will skid the back wheel if you chop the throttle from 75+% of peak rpm. You can pretty much get that bike down to walking pace in a fairly short distance without touching the brakes at all. (Thats a game I sometimes play on it, see if I can get home from work without touching the brakes, just slowing down using the throttle and gears.)
