One-pedal driving on our Equinox

[_swiftshadow]

I'm used to one-pedal driving now. Are there times when it's better to turn it off to save energy?

When it’s wet or snowy out, I usually turn off OPD. Don’t get me wrong, OPD’s super handy, but it directs regen braking on the front wheels, which can be a bit tricky when the roads are slippery.

If you’ve got a FWD, it’s a smart move to switch off OPD in those conditions to avoid any unwanted handling problems.

It'd be so handy if there was an easy way to check if my brake lights are on while using OPD!

The major point of one pedal driving that it generates power when decelerating . When you decelerate it turns the motor into a generator which feeds back into the battery. Overall , it could extend range depending on your driving environment. Not advisable to use one pedal driving in slippery weather because it could cause some instability.
