Wasn't his whole problem with one particular implementation of one-pedal driving, the Ioniq 5? As I recall, it was poorly implemented and had a relatively common use case that would allow you to stop without the brake lights ever coming on.

This isn't really a problem that other EVs have had. The brake lights come on when you slow down, just as if you had used the brake pedal. It's mostly as easy as triggering at a certain amount of kW generated.

I can't speak for the state of the problem, but the Kia EV6 is a sibling to the Ioniq 5, and I would assume had/has the same issue.

Yes. I watched that Tech Connections video a while back. In that implementation, his car would slow down too quickly without brake lights. I think it would get down to something like 15 mph from 55 before they'd come on, yet the deceleration was at least as rapid as casual braking.

I agree with the Tech Connections example; I have no comment on other EVs.
