  It always intrigues me to see drivers hurtling up to a red light and slamming the brakes on at the last moment. The same with red brake lights in front of you, if you see them why not slow down. If you don't see them stop driving. 💀

  I leased a 2018 GM Bolt for three years (basically a entry level electric car) and found that after a while I started using just the regenerative brakes for most of the time when I needed to brake.  In order to do that I had to be a lot more attentive to the driving.  This had the extra benefit of making me a safer driver and increasing the range of the vehicle.

  Many of your points are valid for ICE cars.<br>On regen - I love regen for corners, the ability to vary regen and &quot;slow&quot; into a bend without having to hit the brakes is brilliant for a good stable (ok, usually fast) exit, and at this time of year with slippery roads the added braking effect is very useful. Currently driving an Enyaq, does a brilliant job for my 90% commuting miles and preheat in the winter is awesome.

  On point about regen! Coasting is preserving energy way more than regen ever will.<br>Also my tip: if someone ahead of you is slower and you have no option to pass then slow down a bit so you close the gap slower. The more you drive at reduced speed the more energy you save and the time saved is minimal apart from extreme cases.

  In winter i have warm clothes on so no problem lowering heat to 16-17 degrees when seat and steering wheel heat is on. Saves huge amounts of energy.

  Very good point about turning regen off as it doesn’t effect efficiency but regen is just so useful in a busy city where you can just keep one pedal driving without having to tap dance on the brake every few seconds. <br>Ok might lose a bit in efficiency but regen makes driving soo much easier. I’ve got a Tesla Y which has pretty well weighted regen and I just love it. In my old ICE car I used to avoid cities as much as I could. Now &nbsp;I just say “bring it on”😊.<br>Regen has a big part to play in my new appreciation of city driving.

  I subscribed the channels just based on this single video. Don&apos;t need anything else to know that this guy knows exactly what he&apos;s talking about. Kinetic VS Potential energy... It all comes down to physics.<br>Well done!<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/anononepedaldrivingenthusiast">#ANonOnePedalDrivingEnthusiast</a>
