My EV has a “paddle” on the steering column that you can pull towards you to engage regenerative braking. I use the actual brake pedal maybe 20% of the time or if I need to do a quick stop to avoid hitting someone in front of me. I did like this sentence in the article: “Before stopping, take your foot off the gas and allow the vehicle to slow down naturally to a complete stop.” Off the gas?!

That's an interesting thing. I wonder if 30 years from now, cars will all be electric but the pedal will still be called the "gas" pedal. It will be one of those words that kids don't understand where it came from, like "dialing" a phone or the file save icon.

American/Canadian-only problem.

Most of the rest of the Anglosphere call "gasoline" petrol, and you step on the accelerator. Gas in Australia actually refers to LPG.
