    They have two pedals, but with EVs you basically brake when you remove your for from the “gas” pedal

      This is always a user-enabled option. On the Chevy Bolt, it’s a button on the center console that you have to activate every time you turn it on.

        The presence of the setting is appreciated, but not saving config or even just being a physical toggle switch is cursed.

          I imagine it’s a safety thing. This way, every time you get into a Bolt (and possibly other EVs; I don’t know how their switches are configured) it’s in a known state. You will not be surprised (the hard way) when you pick it up from the mechanic, or your SO drove it previously, etc, and discover that it’s in 2-pedal mode.

      Oh so regen on release. Not my favourite config. I was experimenting with regen on a front motor ebike before and the best way for my comfort that I found was a slider that controls regen amount so you can either coast/bomb hills, or have a similar feeling to gearing down on a stick shift car when the slider is turned up.
