    My Volt and Mach-e also will creep. In the mach-e it’s an option, same as 1 pedal driving. The cool thing about EV’s is being able to change the behavior with options to suit your preferences.

      I had never heard of one pedal driving until you mentioned it here. After reading about it that sounds like a pretty interesting feature. Do you get to use it very often or is it pretty niche?

        I think it’s really cool feature for two use cases:

        1. If you’re mostly doing freeway cruising
        2. If you have any mobility issues with your feet or legs

        But I tend to drive a lot on streets with stoplights. And after having a couple real rough stops when the lights turned yellow right before my go/no-go line, I turned it back off. I just couldn’t get used to the abrupt force of the brakes in that mode. I’m sure you could get used to it though, and I might enable it on the freeway for road trips.
