The rise of regenerative braking in electrified vehicles has led to a design issue that the Hyundai Motor Group’s EVs may be failing. Research suggests that its vehicles may be slowing quickly without warning other drivers on the road.
“Until this issue is remedied, drivers of the affected EVs should stick with the Level 1 or Level 2 regenerative-braking modes and avoid using the stronger Level 3 and strongest i-Pedal modes,” recommended Jennifer Stockburger, the director of operations at Consumer Reports Auto Test Center.
