I donât think the issue is that folks donât know how regen braking works. Thereâs already at least one thread dedicated to what level of regen is the right level:In the Tesla that is done by releasing a little pedal pressure - as much as you want for the amount of slowing you want.
In the Tesla you wouldn't shift (you can't) but rather just let off more pressure to the point where the car comes to a full stop.
So I guess the question is as to why you prefer to do it in two stages instead of one. Or maybe you don't. Perhaps that is imposed by the Bolt's architecture?

I donât want to just restate all 10 pages of comments on here but suffice to say that not all agree that constant max regen is best. Some may prefer (parrticularly on highways where much of driving is coasting) to not have max regen unless they are pressing the go-pedal to the âneutralâ point, but rather to be able to take foot of the pedal to coast and only engage max regen on demand with, for example, paddles.
Youâve already stated you feel one-pedal driving is best and donât understand why anyone would want it any other way but, recognizing that others donât have to agree, I go back to my first response that the best solution is a system (as other manufacturers have implemented) that allows the driver to select whether to activate aggressive one-pedal mode or not.
Why is that not better than imposing one solution for all?
