Chevy Bolt EV Offers One-Pedal Driving Experience

Sep 16, 2016

Chevrolet is constantly looking for ways to improve our electric vehicles and allow customers to enjoy maximum vehicle range. In the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, they’ve done just that. Chevy has developed a one-pedal driving experience that will capture lost energy from braking and send it back to the battery pack so drivers can get the most out of their Bolt EV’s range.

“Bolt EV customers who want an engaging driving experience will love the thrill of one-pedal driving,” said Bolt EV Chief Engineer Josh Tavel. “They will be able to tailor the vehicle to their preferred driving style and maximize their range.”

This one-pedal driving system will offer four different levels of braking power through different modes that the driver can select. For the lowest level of regenerative braking, drivers can choose the first mode and they will still have to use the brake pedal in order to come to a complete stop. But each of the next three driving modes gets increasingly stronger and the driver will eventually be able to bring the vehicle to a complete stop without even touching the brake in some situations.

The four driving modes include:

1.) Operating in Drive and easing off the accelerator.

2.) Operating in Drive and using the Regen on Demand paddle on the back of the steering wheel.

3.) Operating in Low and easing off the accelerator.

4.) Operating in Low and using the Regen on Demand paddle in tandem.
