Nissan LEAF e-Pedal
The redesigned 2018 LEAF will be unveiled in Tokyo on Sept. 6. From all accounts, the new LEAF will shed the first-generation’s high-tech appearance in favor of a more mainstream design. That means the current LEAF’s bulging headlights, bulbous tail and sloped hood will be less pronounced. The interior will also gain simplicity, with an infotainment screen placed in the center stack and driving information displayed behind the steering wheel. But making a new model more humdrum might not be a great marketing angle, so Nissan this week pushed the idea of a so-called e-Pedal.
From what we can tell, the use of the term “e-Pedal” is just another way to convey that the car has a mode for strong regenerative braking. Simply ease up on the accelerator, and the car slows down. If you entirely lift your foot off the pedals, the car comes to a stop—rather than creeping forward.
