Regenerative braking

[Scoutons86]

Kind of niche, but Please make the regenerative braking be able to be turned off completely, my Volvo has this feature and it’s great.

Mainly for my wife who gets super car sick and who will never just get used to it.

Not sure if anyone needs to be this example, but just in case it might be of use to someone not familiar with EVs I took three photos
1. One Pedal on, accelerating
View attachment 13346
2. One Pedal Off, still accelerating
View attachment 133473. One Pedal Off, foot of the accelerator coasting, no breaks but active regenView attachment 13348
With one pedal off region still does its thing, but it does not apply any level of braking. I doubt the majorityof people in this forum need this, but you never know.

I may try to have my wife photograph some of this on ours sometime.

For my Ioniq 9, regen level 0 provides 3kw or so of energy.

Level 1 is something like a max of 15-20kw.

And off the top of my head I want to say one pedal (level 4) provided as much as 75-90kw of braking.

(For context 750w = = 1horsepower, so 90kw of regen is the equivalent of 120HP of acceleration, backwards)

The highest level of regen I’ve seen in my car has been 107 but that was while going down an incredibly steep offramp using both the brake pedal and Regen on demand in one pedal drive, so it only stayed that high for a couple of seconds because the exit kind of snuck up on me. My highest regen in normal cases is in the mid 20s low 30s. If I take my foot fully off the pedal in one pedal drive if I slowly lift my foot off and allow the car to slow in one pedal it kind of tops out around 16-19

Stumbled into this thread and am now really interested by it.

How widespread is "car sickness" with drivers with this kind of braking?

I have a really difficult time with motion sickness unless I am the one driving (its super fun on planes and trains), but admittedly don't have any tangible EV experience to see how it would impact me.

I think it really is as I stated above it varies on driving style. I’ve never made someone that I know has motion sickness feel sick in my car because generally, I’m smooth in my release of the accelerator in one pedal and even if I take my foot fully off the car has a decent decline in speed. It doesn’t lurch or jerk. While on the other hand the first time I let my mother drive my car with one pedal on she made me feel a little motion sick. Had a rough start because she was unfamiliar with that kind of driving and it was very jerky for pretty much the entire drive. I told her she could take one pedal off and it would feel more normal to her, but she wanted to try it.
