The new Nissan Leaf...with only one pedal

The e-pedal. You'd have to train your brain a bit before you went out with that bugger.

Must be a bit counter intuitive at first.Having said that I think the new one looks better than the original.Still be of no use to me as I can't get near enough to the bungalow to plug one in to charge it.

Its a speed control. If you want to go slower, you lift, if the speed differential is large, it will brake.

So....if you take your foot completely off the pedal to, say, reach for your lipstick, you perform an emergency stop?




Anyhow.......here's a bloke with a woman's voice to explain:

But how does it know if you require gentle retardation or a panic stop when you release the pedal?

You'd have to have gentle retardation to buy one.

I had a mooch around one last year while I was waiting for my car from servicing and thought "It`s not a Micra anymore in the same way that a Mini isn`t mini anymore"
