The braking with one pedal driving is much more immediate. The car doesn’t really coast. Instead, you slowly let off the accelerator and the car drags to a stop. It takes a while to get good at, kind of the same way you have to get good at letting off a clutch in a stick shift. If you let off the accelerator abruptly, you will feel the car braking immediately. You have to let off slowly. Trying to drive the traditional way while this feature is turned on creates the “seasick” lunge.

Sorry if I’m not good at describing it. If you get a chance to test drive an EV that includes this option, try it. I mostly keep this feature turned off on my EV because I don’t really see any improvement in range with having it on.

There’s a video demonstrating it here:

I have driven multiple EVs with this feature including trains. Regenerative breaking always has a delay, because the electrical fields need to build up before they can exert force on the motor first. I'd guess it takes about 1/3 to 1/2 of a second for the full force to be applied. Again, every train breaks regeneratively as well and no one ever said in my life, that they were getting sick on a train. This article may be clickbait, that's all I'm saying.
