Regenerative braking is good thing, yes .But implementing it as one pedal driving is terrible. Other OEMs like Ford or VW blend regenerative braking into the brake pedal of their EVs such that it feels exactly like a normal car. The friction pads are there for either emergency braking or for bringing the car to a final stop after slowing down.

Toyota's been doing that for over 25 years in its hybrids.

It's an excellent, highly reliable system.

I drive exclusively in 1-pedal. It's a pretty quick transition.

Probably easiest to make an analogy to the transition to analog sticks for gaming.

It was a bit difficult but, once you get the nuance, it's pretty game changing.

I drive my ID.4 exclusively in normal drive mode. I tried one pedal driving and hated it. I don’t understand the hype. To each their own. My point was that regenerative braking doesn’t depend on one pedal driving.

I haven't driven the id.4, but our car has a visual indicator that shows the percentage of regenerative braking efficiency achieved when you at coming to a stop. Hitting 100% is significantly easier in my experience with my test sample of 1 vehicle using the single pedal option, like everything though, I'm sure it's not the same across the board.
