What Is One-Pedal Driving for Electric Cars

January 23, 2023

After years of tapping an accelerator and brake pedal, the phrase “one-pedal driving” may sound like a dangerous joke. But it’s a real thing. And naturally, it’s something that you’ll only find in electric and hybrid vehicles.

One-pedal contributes to the “regenerative braking” system in electric and hybrid cars. Essentially, the car’s electric motor helps to slow down the vehicle, reducing the need for the brake and generating electricity for the battery. Check our top story to learn more about one-pedal driving, plus some tips on how to make the most of it (or avoid it altogether).

Other Highlights:

• Prepare for the Super Bowl with this 98-inch TCL TV while it’s still 40% off.
• Check out the latest video of Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robot!
• Here’s why you need to make a Goodreads account in 2023.
• … and more!
