Nissan Leaf E-Pedal: One Step Does (Almost) All

 

Driving is something we do every day – and no matter what you drive, we’d all like it to be more of a pleasure and less of a chore. Short of hiring an Uber, that’s where the newest technology from Nissan comes in. The automaker has announced its innovative “E-Pedal,” as currently featured in the Nissan Leaf (and which you can experience at Peruzzi Nissan).

The E-Pedal is a technological breakthrough that gives one pedal multiple functions. It lets you accelerate, slow down – even brake – all with a single pedal.

Yes, we know it may sound kind of weird, but here’s how it works. To accelerate, you press the pedal, just like you normally would. Need to slow down? Simply ease off. And if you need to come to a stop, take your foot off the pedal altogether – the Nissan Leaf will stay securely put, even on hills. Then, with a simple push, you’re on your way again.

The E-Pedal can handle 90% of your driving needs in one step (literally). For those drivers who find themselves constantly switching between the gas pedal and the brake (like city drivers, or anyone dealing with heavy traffic situations), this new technology will make driving a much less stressful event. Plus, the Nissan Leaf E-Pedal will reduce driver fatigue.

Naturally, Nissan considers driver safety paramount, so a standard brake pedal is also included in the Leaf, just in case a heavier “stop” function is needed, especially in emergency situations.

The Nissan Leaf E-Pedal, which is featured in upcoming 2018 models, makes its debut this September. It’s a breakthrough that’s on the cutting-edge of driver-focused systems, and one that heralds a whole new way of interacting with our cars.
