Yes, that's right. Driving one pedal in the Volt becomes more natural in hilly terrain. It's a more enjoyable experience, you don't go racing downhill unless you want to. I miss it immediately when I drive our van. On trips, I put it in D with the ACC on.FYI, my understanding is that the amount of regen braking in L and D on the Volt (and the Bolt) are identical. The brake pedal is 'blended'. On other brands (like Tesla) the brake pedal is just calipers, and you need to use 1 pedal to get regen (or so I have heard, haven't driven one).
