EV throttle response

[JackSparrow]

I would think that PRJ could provide you with a linear torque mapping for the accelerator.
I agree about the non-linearity, my other EV, a 2021 Volvo XC40, has way more aggressive and progressive torque delivery. Since it has no launch control, it gives full access to all available power all the time, which is why I’d probably like the Mapev tune.
I’ve had other ICE cars that had a linear aggressive torque response, in my case V8/manual, and they are not jerky or hard to control, and they don’t just give you all of the available power at tip in. It’s easier to experience it than to explain it.

OUR other EV is a Genesis GV60 Performance. Instead of Launch Control, it has a “Boost” button on the steering wheel that gives a 10-second 64HP boost. Interestingly, the button be pressed again as soon as the 10-second timer expires. This “feature” drives (ha!) me crazy - just give me all of the available power all the time and let me control it via the accelerator pedal - don’t hide the performance behind launch control or a special button that I have to remember to press!

Has anyone tried this:

or one of the other pedal response controllers?

There’s another thread where someone is selling one, you could probably DM them.

Is it more linear or is it still very muted for the first half of the pedal movement?

Try this experiment- from a stop in 1st gear, ease into the throttle and keep increasing pressure until you’re floored.

In my 4S if you do this for the first half of pedal movement the car isn’t that quick then you hit some threshold around 50% throttle and it all of a sudden takes off. The difference above that point and totally floored isn’t that much.

I’m actually half tempted to buy one of those cheap “tuners” that just adjust throttle input settings.

Something like this:

"Try this experiment- from a stop in 1st gear, ease into the throttle and keep increasing pressure until you’re floored."

This quote made me laugh out loud, I tried all the ways but the moment I get deeper in the pedal the car just takes off, progressively and without pause.
Second gear kicks in seamlessly and it just keeps on going.
Maybe it's me but If I do as you suggest the numbers are (allegedly) in the three digits before I can even take a breath.
I've never done a launch control.
I do like the progressive pedal, so it's slowly slowly nice and relaxed in traffic and car parks, but if I get some open road and push harder the blood is going out of my head.
It could be a 4S thing, as suggested you may wish to try a turbo (S)........

That’s exactly the point, about halfway through the pedal movement it just explodes with acceleration.

There is no “middle ground.”

It’s sluggish for the first part of pedal travel and explosive past that.

Not easy to control the middle ground of brisk, but not floored acceleration.

Personal preference, but I think it’s too slow at first and too fast in the middle. Would prefer linear throttle response.

In a gas car it’s extremely easy to get cars to respond how you want. Want to shift at 2k, 3k, 4k etc? No problem. Only exception is when they program a transmission to be fuel efficient, then downshift the right amount can be difficult….. ie crusing in 7th gear and wanting to shift to 3rd, it won’t always end up in the gear you want except when floored.

Better yet is to hide 20% of the power behind a "push to pass" button that can only be added after buying a stupid $1200 clock that sits atop the dash that is always staring at you!

I drive the humble base RWD and I'm happy with it - if I want a quicker response, I have the optional Sport Chrono package, and dial in Sports or Sports Plus. But as this is my daily driver, I'm happy with Normal 90% of the time.
