Hyundai Creta Electric's i-Pedal Technology Explained
The Hyundai Creta Electric has a special feature called i-Pedal.
When you take your foot off the accelerator, the car slows down quickly, almost like using the brakes.
This helps the car recharge its battery and makes it more efficient, especially in city traffic.
You can turn it on by pulling a lever near the steering wheel.
It's best for stop-and-go traffic but not for highways.
Other electric cars have similar features, like the Nissan Leaf and Tesla.
The Creta Electric comes in two battery sizes and costs between Rs 18.02 lakh and Rs 24.7 lakh.
Hyundai Creta Electric features i-Pedal technology for one-pedal driving.
i-Pedal uses regenerative braking to decelerate the car when the accelerator is released.
Achieved an efficiency of 10.5 km/kWh during a week of driving in Delhi.
Activated by pulling the left side paddle shifter behind the steering wheel.
Best used in stop-and-go traffic for better efficiency and battery recharge.
