As an ecodriver, I don't like 1-pedal driving, for the most part. I use the L mode on our Bolt EV, when I want lots of regen. And my brother's i3 REx, there is a nice easy to find "detent" to allow coasting - but you have to keep your foot on the accelerator.
The e-Golf (and probably the Ioniq) have the best implementation - coasting in D by default, and optional modes adding regen to the accelerator, AND integrated regen on the brake pedal.
I love driving the e-Golf. With the Ecopia EP422 tires on our 2017 SE, it coasts easily and often, with no fuss, whatsoever. The brakes are the best of any car I have owned in a long time - maybe the 2002 Focus ZX5 had better brakes? The Bolt EV brakes are also excellent.
The 2008 Scion xD we still have, by the way - has horrible brakes.
