S2 E1: EV Regen, Driver Aids & the Lost Art of Heel-and-Toe – The Smart Drive Podcast

Modern cars are getting cleverer, but that does not always mean they are getting easier to understand.Simon and Ashley look at EV regenerative braking, one-pedal driving, coasting, and why efficiency depends heavily on where and how you drive.There is a nostalgic detour through heel-and-toe, double-declutching, cold-start rituals and one very slow-motion hedge incident with an old Land Rover.The pair question whether driver aids, camera systems, software recalls and right-to-repair are making cars safer, or just more complicated.Plus: marathon recovery, safer roads education, 1991 motoring jokes and a Lotus Elan fact for the dinner-table bore in your life.Leave us a review, send your questions, and help keep the Smart Drive chaos vaguely road-legal.e-mail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
