How do Regen on Demand & One-Pedal Driving work?

Today we wanted to take a closer look at a couple more of the great technologies that have been announced as appearing in GMC’s first-ever hybrid vehicle, the incredibly anticipated HUMMER EV. So, today we’re taking a look at Regen on Demand and One-Pedal Driving, two technologies that go hand in hand (or foot in foot, as the case were). We’ve already looked at quite a few technologies that will be present in the utility vehicle but keep checking back on our blog often for even more.

What do these technologies do?

As far as the GMC lineup is concerned, the HUMMER EV will be the first model to feature either of these two outstanding technologies. Both are features that affect braking and are controlled by you, the driver. They’re capable of converting the kinetic energy created by the truck as it operates into storable electricity, which is then transferred to the electric vehicle’s battery packs, thus enhancing the EV’s total range.

On one hand, you have Regen on Demand. It’s capable of slowing the vehicle completely down to a stop by simply pulling a paddle on the steering wheel, much like paddle shifters, instead of ever applying pressure to the brake pedal.

On the other hand, you have One-Pedal Driving, which actually allows you to slow the vehicle down completely just by using the accelerator pedal. It changes the way the accelerator works, delivering a much finer control than you might be used to. HUMMER EV owners will be able to configure the feature to meet their needs and preferences so that it works exactly the way they want.

Both features work together to deliver an even more flexible and precise way of slowing down your vehicle when driving in ordinary conditions. Plus, One-Pedal Driving integrates quite well with Terrain Mode!
