Who says you need two pedals to drive? Nissan certainly doesn’t believe so, as they’ve pioneered “e-Pedal†technology on the 2019 LEAF—a system that enables the all-electric vehicle to be fully operated with only one pedal.
So, here’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 year’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 car’s regenerative brakes kick in and a full stop is completed.
With the 2019 LEAF’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 promotes enhanced driving range and longer-lasting brake pads.
