It looks like exactly that in the image above. The ePedal has a separate switch to enable that functionality, but the traditional brake pedal is always on the left.
That makes more sense. There'd be almost no acclimation period. One might have to practice to keep from inadvertently slowing more than that like but panic stops would still be second nature.
With the way the eBrake was 'highlighted' I thought it was the only pedal.
Just reading the comments, you can tell who has and who hasn't driven an EV.
I would be one, but I am familiar with regenerative braking. I just never thought it applied a significant (aggressive) braking force. I equated it with older ICE cars that didn't have the idle set to 1100rpm or whatever. You back off the gas and you could feel it slow, but never at a rate I'd consider as touching a brake pedal.
I really would like a Volt. I see them all the time and mainly on the freeways. I always wonder how far they're going and the state of charge. They're never in the 'slow' lane and they're moving smartly.
