The only downside I know of with the Hyundai is that their single pedal driving controller interprets US law about braking strictly and does not turn on the brake lights unless you dump the pedal, engaging the brake rotors. So either just don't use single pedal driving mode, or have faith that US drivers don't drive distracted (this is an endorsement for not using Hyundai's single pedal driving mode btw)

    My wife's Ioniq 6 turns on the brake lights when it is doing regeneration braking, so you are misinformed (unless it is a recent change; hers is a 2025). I can't imagine that your version has ever been true, though.

    Also their failing ICCUs. They keep trying to fix it, but people keep reporting it's not fully solved.

    so let's ignore the 15 year warranty in that comment. List of US manufacturers that give 15 year warranties on any part:

    Do you want to go out on road trip or just have your car randomly die and be unavailable for days? The warranty is great, but its still a problem.

    Edit: the warranty is there because it is a problem, not because they're being a great company and deciding to offer 15y on a part.

    It's also not "necessary" for regen braking depending on your car. Early EVs (and AFAIK) current Teslas do not blend regen braking with the regular brakes, so you needed to use one pedal driving to get the most range. Modern, well made EVs blend the regen braking with conventional brakes on the same pedal, so you don't have to use one pedal driving mode to get the most range.
