To regen or not regen?......that is the question.

  1. To clarify:
    This fonctionnality is called e-Pedal by Nissan:
    The e-Pedal allows the driver to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop using only the accelerator pedal.

    The Kona knows only what is called the "One Pedal Driving":
    The driver can stop the vehicle by pulling and holding the left side paddle shifter.
    To operate:
    • Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter while coasting.
    • When the vehicle speed is above 3 km/h, release the paddle shifter to return to the previously set level.
    • When the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h, the function maintains control to stop the vehicle even though the paddle shifter is released.
    While the One pedal driving is in activation, the driver can control the vehicle stopping position using the accelerator pedal.

    So, if you activate it all the time, you obtain something like the original e-Pedal.
    I use this "hack" sometimes in town. On road I prefer to try to not regenerate at all :)

  3. But do you have to activate it each time you are coming to a stop? If that's the case, it's still one pedal and one paddle driving.
     
  4. I wedge a piece of rubber tubing under the front part of the left paddle. In this way it is permanently activated, and therefore no need to hold it with your hand. It is therefore sufficient to release the accelerator to stop without having to worry about the pallets. It is much appreciated by some.
     
  5. Do any of you guys watch the road? :))

    What is this "road" of which you speak? Might it distract me from paying attention to the electronic gizmos in my car?
