Do all new electric cars have one-pedal driving?
One pedal driving sounds like a genuine advance in ease of motoring. Are all of the newer electric cars so equipped? And is the feature available on any hybrid models?

It is not fitted to every electric car. All of them have regenerative braking and most have an adjustable regen level, but not all can bring the car to a complete stop without touching the brake pedal. The same applies to hybrid models, most of which have a 'B' mode which increases the level of regenerative braking.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
