What Does One-Pedal Mode Mean?
1 Answers
One-pedal mode refers to a driving method where the driver can control both acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle using a single accelerator pedal. Pressing the pedal accelerates the vehicle, while lifting off the pedal applies braking, with the braking force increasing linearly as the pedal is released. Below is a detailed explanation: Functions of one-pedal mode: When the throttle is released, it allows the wheels to drive the motor for energy regeneration, reducing power consumption. Simultaneously, the resistance applied to the wheels is significantly greater than during free coasting, thereby achieving a braking effect. Advantages of one-pedal mode: Simplifies driving by significantly reducing the frequency of right-foot operations; makes kinetic energy recovery controllable, improving energy efficiency; reduces wear on brake pads.
