"User-Activated Regenerative Braking
Another concern of enthusiasts is a lack of driver involvement. That's certainly the case regarding the transmissions in most electric cars, since there's usually only one gear to not choose from. However, electric powertrains offer other ways for the driver to take control.
Aboard the Chevrolet Bolt EV is one of the most entertaining regenerative braking paddle systems we've ever used. Pulling the paddle behind the left steering wheel spoke will engage the maximum amount of regen for as long as you hold it. This allows the driver to regain charge and slow down without using the brakes, which on the Bolt are completely mechanical and not blended. You can even bring the car to a complete stop this way, enabling one-pedal driving with a fun twist.
We speak from experience that this timing things just right so that you stop without ever touching the brake pedal is really fun. We also see the potential for this in performance driving – imagine how late you could brake for corners if you could rely on both mechanical brakes and a manually operated regenerative brake system, both separate and manually-controlled. It's a novel and entertaining way to build in some driver involvement, which is at the core of what enthusiasts crave."
