Nissan announced today that the next new Nissan LEAF will come with e-Pedal, a technology designed to transform the way we drive.

With the flip of a switch, the technology turns your accelerator into an e-Pedal, allowing drivers to accelerate, decelerate and stop using just the e-Pedal – although the the conventional brake pedal should still be used for aggressive braking situations

Nissan says e-Pedal technology is the world’s first one-pedal operation that allows drivers to bring the car to a complete stop even on hills, stay in position, and resume driving instantly.

The company says that drivers can cover 90 per cent of their driving needs with the e-Pedal. In heavy traffic and during city commutes, drivers will greatly reduce the need to shift from one pedal to the other, making your drive simpler and more engaging.
