I have a Chevy Bolt in addition to my Ariya Premier. The Bolt one-pedal is far superior. You can vary the deceleration with the throttle and it will bring you to a full stop without touching the brake. If you want to brake even faster, there is a paddle on the steering wheel that will bring you down really fast to a complete stop. Then you can use the brake pedal if you need to in an emergency. +In 4 years, I've probably used the brake pedal less then 25 times.

Leaf introduced one-pedal in 2018. It uses regen down to 5mi/hr, then friction brakes to a complete stop. Even holds on up & down.

Haven't got my engage yet but what does everyone think about the possibility of caliper or rotor issues if the brakes never or seldom get used. If you can get stopped without brakes being used I'd think they would quickly rust up, especially in the pacific northwest. Thoughts?

If your not using your brakes aren't you concerned they my be rusting up possibly seizing? Just a thought.

I used E-Pedal pretty much exclusively for at least 3 years on my 2018 Leaf, in Portland OR, and never had a problem. I had it default to always on.

Great thanks I'll put that worry of mine away. We have a 2013 leaf still with 130 k range. The b mode slows us but a little real brake is used right at the end so they do get a little use all the time. Great cars. Hope the ariya is the same quality thanks again

I do a panic stop every so often (too aggressive, I guess). Also, the brakes aren't subjected to much here in California (except in January and February).

I was wondering if e-Step can be a software upgrade OTA, and hopefully Nissan listen to the customers wanted one pedal driving.

I am very familiar with 2 Leafs e-Pedal. Please note I said: "e-Step behaves exactly like my Leaf with e-pedal off and drive mode set to "B". With e-Pedal off and "B" on and ProPilot on, the car comes to a complete stop if the car in front stops; I don't need to use the brakes."
Plus, I drove one of the demo Ariyas several months ago. So, I'm familiar with how e-Step works. It is a hazard if a driver has been using e-Pedal for 5 years.

 

[Ridera]

Effectively, Ariya's already have e-pedal when Pro-Pilot is active. If the car in front stops, your car stops completely.

As has been stated earlier in this thread, it's a safety hazard where the purchaser of an Ariya has had a Leaf as a previous car, so it's not a huge surprise that Nissan dealers, at handover of a new Ariya, now make specific mention of the "Ariya e-Step creep" as being exactly that - a safety hazard. We are angry that Nissan Motors GB Limited simply lied about this hazard before we purchased an Ariya when we specificially asked about this (post here) and it's hopefully only a matter of time before the option is introduced as a firmware upgrade.

Until then, we recommend that potential UK buyers of the Ariya look at buying something other than a Nissan - as stated in the other post, Nissan Motors GB Limited does not comply with the UK GDPR because it processes personal unlawfully and fails "due diligence" checks because of failure to comply with corporate identity disclosure legislation made under S.82 Companies Act 2006 - a criminal offence.

We were gonna by an Ariya, but when we realized it does not have e-pedal we decider to look for other car brands. Too bad, we really liked our leaf and just wanted to up it with ccs and a towbar.

Does a car have to be in front of you to come to a stop with ProPilot?

In my experience, yes.
