Who says you need two pedals to drive? Nissan certainly doesnâ€™t believe so, as theyâ€™ve pioneered â€œe-Pedalâ€ technology on the 2019 LEAFâ€”a system that enables the all-electric vehicle to be fully operated with only one pedal.

So, hereâ€™s the scoop, Seattle: the e-Pedal lets you both accelerate and brake the LEAF with only one pedal, eschewing the conventional setup. While fully optional in this yearâ€™s Nissan EV, it lets the driver press down on the e-Pedal to gradually accelerate; conversely, easing up on the pedal enables you to slow the car down. When you remove your foot altogether, the carâ€™s regenerative brakes kick in and a full stop is completed.

With the 2019 LEAFâ€™s e-Pedal, the brake lamps turn on whenever pressure on the pedal is released. The e-Pedal can also stop a car while on an incline and is compatible with parallel parking situations. As a result of its design, it promotesÂ enhanced driving range and longer-lasting brake pads.

Feature Spotlight for Kirkland: The 2019 Nissan LEAFâ€™s e-Pedal

The Nissan LEAF is an amazing machine in many regards. Itâ€™s fun to drive and, seeing as itâ€™s all-electric, is wildly efficient. However, there are other sensational technologies on the 2019 model that are worth a close examination. Among these is the incredible e-Pedal technology.

The 2019 Nissan LEAFâ€™s e-Pedal is a system that enables the use of driving with only one pedal as opposed to relying on two (the standard accelerator and brake pedals). This optional method of control lets you press down on the e-Pedal to gradually accelerate; conversely, if you release theÂ pressure youâ€™ll slow the car down. If you completely remove your foot from the e-Pedal, the regenerative brakes will fully kick in and the resulting friction will cause a complete stop.

With the LEAF's e-Pedal, the brake lights flick on every time you begin to release pressure, just as youâ€™d expect. Itâ€™s possible to parallel park using only this one-pedal system; further, the e-Pedal is capable of stopping the car on an incline, too. Further benefits of this system include longer-lasting brake pads and improved driving range.
