My Hyundai also offers an "auto hold" button, but it is not dependent on it being an EV (my PHEV also has this button, and does not have one pedal driving mode). It simply holds you at a stop once you come to a stop, so you don't have to keep your foot on the brake.
In my Ioniq 9, one pedal doesn't have creep. Once you come to a stop, you're stopped unless you press the pedal.
I read that article last night, and got sort of irritated at the tone. But, I sort of agree on some of it. Creep isn't something that is maybe the most ideal. And I bet that if creep was something new now, everyone would be super against it.
But, its something we're used to now. In that way, its like QWERTY keyboards (which, fun fact, are DESIGNED to be the least efficient for typing, as a side effect of mechanical typewriters limitations, and fast typists that were causing the typewriters to damage themselves by the letters hitting at speed). But, uh, because we're familiar with it, I doubt the QWERTY Keyboard is going anywhere anytime soon.
I also REALLY like how you're modulating your speed with your BRAKE. This works perfect for places like... in your garage. If you accidentally mash the pedal that you're using to control speed with creep on, you stop, hard.
If you accidentally floor the pedal with one pedal driving while in the garage, you're through the living room. And while infrequent, people get their pedals mixed up from time to time. I'd hazard a guess that it happens more with 1 pedal driving (because of the "force of habit"/familiarity thing).
That said, I was worried about this. And I spent a bit trying out one pedal driving more on my new EV (the ioniq 9). And, the toe-in on the throttle pedal, is pretty good. Low speed control is there, if you've got the habit.
I still prefer creep, and lower regen modes for most driving. But there are some situations where one pedal driving works pretty well (lower speed stop and go traffic where you can't/don't want to use adaptive cruise control, or any place where you're changing between throttle/braking pedals very frequently).
