A Nissan Leaf allows one pedal to act as 'go' and 'stop' doesn't it ?.
This means you can hold the car on a slope without the handbrake.

Not sure if you put you foot under it and attempt to lift it that
the car goes backwards :-)

Having learned to drive on a car with at least two and preferably three
pedals, I would find it very difficult to get used to a single-pedal car,
where releasing the pedal completely applies the brakes.


Do let us know when you find one. As far as Im aware they dont exist.


So the reference to the Nissan Leaf was incorrect?


No, you read that it could be driven in €śone pedal€ť mode and made in
incorrect extrapolation. It still has a brake pedal that you use in the
normal way if and when you want to.

Not all EVs will come to a complete standstill when you just lift off the
throttle but some have this as a selectable mode. It can be very handy in
stop/start traffic in towns as you dont have to keep switching between
accelerator and brake.
