Consumer Description
When the vehicle is in one pedal mode, and the car drive is switched to reverse, the car moves backwards and does not slow down contrary to one pedal mode which does not move unless the accelerator is depressed and will slow down when in forward drive. The 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV does operate in One Pedal Mode in both directions. This is a dangerous situation for EV drivers since the car can backup over a person since the car says it is in one pedal mode but it is not functional in reverse. EV's should not have to simulate torque convertors of ICE vehicles since that was a mechanical issue. This is completely not necessary for the car to move backwards on it own. Period! This behavior is very dangerous and should be corrected in software update to the user.
