Yeah, I got an EV ride on Lyft in Seattle once, wasn't very long. But once I got to my destination I hurled. I drive an EV, to me, part of the "fun" is making the smoothest stops and starts possible. The Lyft driver was the opposite. The regen felt like it was on max, and he would go full pedal to the metal to no pedal at all.
People have been driving like this way before EVs... people just are shit at driving. Had a coworker long ago that I rode with one time, and he did this shit on the fucking highway. Speed up like 15 mph over the speed limit then brake hard to get his speed back down. Then on the roads, every stop or go was foot to the floor or brake, didn't matter. Dude just was shit at driving, and most people are shit at driving.
Before I knew about one pedal driving I thought Tesla drivers drove with one foot on the brake and one on the throttle because their brake lights would shine constantly
