    In a manual and EVs, when you take your foot off the brake, nothing happens.

    That depends on the car’s software - my mother’s Renault Zoe slowly accelerates to about 5 km/h if you take your foot off the brake.

      My Volt and Mach-e also will creep. In the mach-e it’s an option, same as 1 pedal driving. The cool thing about EV’s is being able to change the behavior with options to suit your preferences.

        I had never heard of one pedal driving until you mentioned it here. After reading about it that sounds like a pretty interesting feature. Do you get to use it very often or is it pretty niche?

          I use it all the time in urban settings with my Chevy Bolt. It will slow to a complete stop and there’s a paddle on the steering wheel I can use to engage it if I’m not in one pedal mode, or make the Regen braking more aggressive if I am.
