My EV has the opposite problem, something like half throw is full throttle and then the rest of the pedal does nothing. They do it for marketing reasons but I still don't like it
My ICE car does the same. The only use for almost half of the pedal travel is shutting down the speed limiter when it's active, with no change at all when the limiter is off.
That’s annoying. The Genesis throttle maps are what you’d expect: Eco counteracts a leadfoot, Comfort has good pickup, Sport is borderline irresponsible in neighborhoods, Boost is unreasonably fun.
(I find that electric acceleration makes highway merging much safer.)
