my Nissan Leaf supports this driving mode and I hate it. Brakes way too hard/abruptly.


Much like you don't always press the brake pedal all the way down when you want to slow down, don't release the accelerator pedal completely, only the necessary amount. You're 100% in control of how hard OPD braking is.


100% user error.

If 0% throttle is maximum regen braking, and 20% throttle actually keeps you coasting, then...just try using 5-10% throttle. Your throttle is not a binary switch. Handle it with more finesse.


In most EVs you can control the intensity of one-pedal breaking. I have it set to adaptive, which uses speed as one of its factors.


> In most EVs you can control the intensity of one-pedal breaking.

In all EVs you can control the intensity real time with your foot. I concede, though, that I have friends whose driving style is best described as "binary" and I imagine they wouldn't be big fans of one-pedal mode.


Yes, your foot is the ultimate the control. However, there are settings for the steepness of the maximum deceleration for the scenario where the foot is completely lifted.
