What EVs:
  1. have actual one pedal driving?
  2. one pedal driving except in some circumstance?
  3. nearly one pedal driving?
In my experience, the i3 has #2 - it’s one pedal unless the car is going down hill.

The Kona (and its siblings) has #3 - it’s nearly one pedal - it will not come to a stop just by lifting off the accelerator alone. Stopping, without touching the brake, requires the use of a paddle behind the steering wheel. It’s one pedal, plus one paddle.

So, which cars fall into category #1 and will come to a stop in almost all circumstances just by lifting off the accelerator?

Thanks

Tesla model 3 has true 1 pedal driving if the drive mode is set to "hold". It will slow down and stop even on steep slopes without touching the brake pedal. It uses the friction brakes to stop at low speeds and to hold the car.

There's a price to pay in terms of efficiency for true one pedal driving, but it can be so small as to be hard to measure.

Not when I'm getting 20% of total kw from regeneration. The app shows: 33.1kw total, 7.42kw regenerated, 25.6kw consumed. I don't know how much would be regenerated in non E-pedal mode but I might check next time I'm out, The effect is so strong, that only braking firmly would be equal to it. i,e its much stronger than non
E-pedal.
