On my Bolt, it activates one-pedal driving. Hope it is the same for the Mach-E (although there seems to be in option for that a layer or two deep in the big screen menu system).I don't recall reading anywhere what the L is for. Probably low, but what does it do?
It's used for launching your glass roof at the guy behind youI don't recall reading anywhere what the L is for. Probably low, but what does it do?
No doubt that's it. Basically the same function as downshifting an ICE as it applies to going downhill (to slow down without riding the brake).On most EVs, L is used to select an increased regenerative braking mode. I'm unsure if that holds true for the Mach-E though.
It simulates Low gear in a traditional ICE vehicle. Limits your speed while descending a step grade.I don't recall reading anywhere what the L is for. Probably low, but what does it do?
Yet one more reason we all want access to the owners' manual!It simulates Low gear in a traditional ICE vehicle. Limits your speed while descending a step grade.
The vehicle uses regenerative braking to simulate engine braking to give this effect. It's not true 1 pedal driving.....more like max regen is a better description.
Actually on the Bolt putting it into L does enable 1-pedal mode. The following things happen in L on the Bolt:It simulates Low gear in a traditional ICE vehicle. Limits your speed while descending a step grade.

Correct. Chevrolet Bolt is that way.Actually on the Bolt putting it into L does enable 1-pedal mode. The following things happen in L on the Bolt:
- Creep is disabled
- The throttle/accelerator pedal is remapped so that you get that regen "at the top"
- Regen to a complete stop is enabled
Thanks, that was what I was wanting to know.A couple of my comments on page 2 of this thread discuss the drive modes and "L" selector:
