So. in a way, this is a video of driving -_with_- brakes, anyway. Think about it. -Attempted to get by just using the electric car's regenerative braking alone. - -The pair took it in turns to drive some of the city's busiest areas without pressing the brake pedal. -So, it's driving with brakes anyway.

If you kept driving like that in front of me, I'd just give a blast on the horn on my Porsche and that ridiculous, silly little electric box (which actually causes pollution near somewhere else's house - you selfish idiots) would vibrate so much that it would literally break up and fall apart. And I'd laugh.

I did a quick test drive in the i3 in gridlock downtown Toronto and you can one pedal drive the i3 given enough speed to enable strong regen. If you accelerate slightly and keep it at 1-2mph/kph it will creep forward which eventually requires actual brakes. Most the time the car will regen to a halt.

If you're going to try something like this, perhaps it would be an idea to run the test with people who can drive safely and well in the first place.
This is truly shocking for what should be a serious publication and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

This is daft because the electric motor IS the regenerative braking system. putting on light braking just increases the regenerative effect of the electric motor, which it does somewhat without the brakes to emulate engine braking.

When you live in California, where roads are wide and big. then you look at British road that are narrow and full of life. Seems to have less crazy people I would say. Kind of want to drive there sometime.

I do this challenge every time I drive my i3! Great fun, and very energy efficient. (The regenerative braking on the i3 is beautifully engineered; really smooth, progressive and easy to use)

The fact that you two looked like you were having a blast is all the more reason to consider buying this car. Love the videos and great to see you, Mat! Keep crushing these reviews!

Do the brake lights turn on even though you're not pressing the pedal?
If they don't and the car is breaking anyway it could be quite dangerous
