I guess you technically can’t in an EV with regenerative braking. (But maybe they do have an actual brake pedal?)

- mgsouth 4y agoNon-EV driver here; glad I did a search making the "obvious" reply. Surprisingly, "one pedal driving mode" is a thing. Its described as opt-in with a switch or setting, so I guess there's still a brake pedal. Which means some QA techs must have test plans with "switch off, step on brake pedal" and "switch on, step on brake pedal." Or maybe "switch on, step on brake pedal" is undefined behavior and the compiler can optimize it out.
- cperciva 4y agoMy Kona Electric has brake and accelerator pedals. IIRC if you press both at the same time, the accelerator pedal is ignored.
- johnwalkr 4y agoEVs always have physical brakes and pedal too in addition to regenerative braking. Regenerative braking can't come close to the braking power of disc or drum brakes especially if the battery is full.
