I drive solely using one pedal on my Bolt, and brake only when I need to stop faster. As long as it's reliable and safe this should be fine. Regenerative braking is really fun.
So you don't drive solely using one pedal then? Sometimes you use the brakes?
To add, I truly never take my car off of one pedal mode, and solely keep it in one pedal mode.
By "I drive solely using one pedal on my Bolt" with the word "drive" I imply that means normally how I drive. Such that, when I introduce the exception, "brake only" that is not typically how I drive, but rather a precautionary necessity, not a part of how I normally drive. So semantically, yes I should have added "normally" before the word "drive", or maybe "I drive 99% of the time using one pedal".
To which I would conclude that hydraulic brakes are still required equipment, even if used less frequently.
