Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

[ForrestF1re]

I'm a fan of how the Mach-E has this (I have no idea how efficient, however) and that One-Pedal driving is a toggleable option. I first experienced it in a rented Tesla and it took me a few hours (and over 100+ miles) to get used to. My partner just got a Mach-E, and I was thrilled that it wasn't a requirement (She got to experience normal driving during a test drive) and then try out the One-Pedal.

What will be landed on? Who knows, but the option is great for both of us when we drive it.

Not really sure if there's actually any point to this poll since friction brakes and regen are blended in all EVs. Regen braking is free with every electric motor. Friction brakes are necessary for low-speed braking (under around 10 km/hr) because regen loses effectiveness at low speed.
So all EVs will always have both means of slowing down available and it's almost always done through the use of the brake pedal. The real question is how well Scout will implement it. Will the blending of the two be obvious when they transition from one to another like it is in the Nissan Leaf (at least it was in MY Leaf anyway) or will it be smooth and transparent like how Hyundai did it in the Ioniq 5? Will it be default one-pedal like a Tesla (please no!) or will it be customizable with multiple levels and selectable with paddles on the steering wheel like how Hyundai does it?

Personally I hate one-pedal driving and never use it. I would be very happy if Scout just straight-up copied Hyundai where you can choose from 'no regen' to 'one-pedal' and everything in between. I have about five different levels of regen available to choose from including "auto-regen" where the vehicle dynamically adjusts how aggressive the regen is based on what's happening in front of the car. If there's no traffic it's a nice and gentle coast but if the car in front starts braking the regen ramps up to match. Give us choice and blend it so smoothly we can't even tell when the switchover to friction brakes happens as it always must do a low speed! (or during panic braking)

I'm happy to see no one has voted for the "no regen" option, that would just be foolish to! Imagine an EV that didn't take advantage of regen!? That would be a dealbraker right off the bat for me!

I had a loaner MB EQS580 SUV for a while while last year my gasser was in the shop. It was an absolutely incredible vehicle. I played with every feature, tried every drive and braking mode.

What I liked the most was regen controlled by the brake pedal, even though it definitely took some getting used to a softer / less uniform / longer brake pedal feel than any of my other vehicles.

I also committed a day to one pedal driving and hated it. I could not get used to it and really disliked not being able to coast when going downhill.

I like one pedal driving, my wife does not. Fortunately, the BMW iX lets you choose.

I wholeheartedly agree, but sadly there are some EVs (including Tesla) that don’t have blended braking; where the brake pedal is purely friction braking. Technically, I suppose there’s still some “blending” because of regen triggered by having your foot off the gas, but the brake pedal is not used to control any regen. Doesn’t make sense to me either.
