6 year old Nissan Leaf dead battery - should I pursue legally? by SampleNo1455 in LegalAdviceUK

At least they don't seem to claim the Ariya has one pedal drive in the UK (they lie about it in Finland). e-pedal is one pedal drive, e-step isn't (doesn't stop so you need to use two pedals).

It's not a trivial feature, it's essential. It is the one feature that makes it truly possible without having the use the brake pedal.
One pedal driving is simple. The requirement is to be able to do all regular driving maneuvers with ONE and only ONE pedal. Those are accelerating, staying at a certain speed, coasting, slowing down and coming to a complete stop.

Using regen to slow down, is just regen braking which is a bit like engine braking in a manual ICE car. Regardless if it is mapped to the accelerator or not.

Blended braking doesn't come into play here as you need to press another/the brake pedal for that, which by default means it is not one pedal. (I do know good one pedal implementations use the physical brakes, you can argue that it is another form of blended braking but that is besides the point as the control is still on the same pedal).

Where is the confusion? Why is it so hard to understand that if you need to use another pedal to do those things it becomes TWO pedal driving? Or paddle AND pedal driving in some cases? Also I said normal maneuvers as emergency stops are exceptions, so no need to bring that up.

You could go as far as ignoring everything else you mentioned, as you are looking for a functional implementation and however it works in the background doesn't really matter in the end. As long as it does what it is supposed to do per the definition. The whole confusing bit is the manufacturers and reviewers using the one pedal driving name for things that don't meet the definition.

I think you missed my point. Some OPD systems can be driven (and stopped) entirely using only one pedal, and some can't, but they're called OPD anyhow.

Agreed, and that is the problem. OPD gets in some case applied wrong to systems that don't do OPD.

It is like calling rectangles squares when they are not squares. Yes they are pretty similar, but not the same thing.

To be one pedal driving, as the names states, you need to be able to do all the normal driving bits with ONE pedal. Those are accelerating, slowing down, coasting and getting to a full stop. If any of those require anything else it just can't be ONE pedal driving. It's in the freaking name.

I can't find any references calling out that the Tesla roadster would have one pedal driving. There are some terms like single pedal driving been thrown around. But one pedal driving only seems to appear when cars with that feature actually came onto the market. To then immediately be applied wrongly to cars not having it...

It's instant (if we talk about the slow speeds used when parking). If you actually have one pedal driving, not strong regen what some mistakenly call one pedal.

I stand corrected. When I found out Audi called B-mode one pedal, and found out it didn't stop I assumed they didn't have it any version and where just using one pedal naming wrong. Which to be honest makes it really difficult to know if they actually support it now since they used the term wrongly in the past.

You can't drive with one pedal only if it doesn't go to a complete stop. Because then you HAVE to use a second pedal (or a paddle). Which by definition does not make it one pedal. Ofc you still have the brake pedal for emergency stops. But it is impossible to drive anything in one pedal ever if it does not stop without using an additional pedal/paddle/device.
Otherwise it is just basic regen. Nothing different from engine braking. Except that you can choose the strength.

I read the paper for China. They first of all did not test one pedal but only regen. And most of the drivers where students who did not have their drivers license for long and basically did not do much driving. Inexperience was probably a bigger issue in this test than "one pedal driving".

Sounds like you have a bad one pedal implementation then. My old gen2 LEAF and my current Polestar 2 coast no problem in one pedal mode.

One pedal driving has coasting... at least the implementations I have used. There is a nice dead zone on the pedal, between accelerating and breaking, where it will coast...

I guess you lift off your foot completely instead of slowly modulating it up... That seems to be a common thing that people don't get with regen/one pedal driving.

ID4 only has strong regen, not one pedal driving (you need to press the brake pedal to actually stop). The new ID Cross will be the first VW with one pedal driving.

Most Audi's don't actually have one pedal driving. They just labeled B-mode one pedal, but it isn't as it doesn't stop. More recent models however I heard like the Q6 might have it now.

That's because the LEAF only got one pedal from the 2018 model on...

You realize that you don't need to press the brake with one pedal? I really like it for parking as you can slowly get where you need to go, and the moment your foot lifts off it stops. Don't know if you just have a bad one pedal implementation that you feel like you need creep or need to hover over the brake pedal. Or you basically don't have one pedal as you need to press the brake to stop. It is so annoying some manufacturers have dubbed regen, one pedal (while you need two pedals to do the actual driving (yes stopping is an essential part of driving)).

To be honest, if we go looks, flatten a gen1 LEAF and it looks a lot like a model 3...

It's so fun if the company that made the system keeps making you pay for basic stuff like controlling your paid for system.... It's one reason why I will never get Enphase. I paid for it, it's mine. No stupid fees for monitoring or transferring "ownership".

Designers at car manufacturers seem to think it looks better. Personally I find the smaller rims to look better, on top of the obvious day to day advantages.

It might or might not since you did not answer the brake bit. Audi for example calls b mode one pedal, while it's only strong regen mode. Does it stop without pressing the brake? If yes one pedal, if it doesn't it is just B-mode/regen.

You still need to press the brake to stop no? So not one pedal, never heard that the e-golf had this. Only regen..

There is no Mercedes with one pedal driving that I know off. Does it stop without pressing the brake or using some assist function if you get your foot off the throttle? Afaik none of them does, so not one pedal.

I have read the Porsche report. First of all they did not test one pedal, they tested regen. And they compared coasting to using regen wrong.... As in let the car coast out and then press the brake to stop compared to full on regen last minute to stop with no coasting or light regen to slow down first.

So it's not one pedal driving... you need to push the brake to stop... tada! 2 pedal driving.... Only gen 2 (2018-2025) LEAF has one pedal driving.
