    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a regenerative braking and powertrain pedal system. The powertrain system includes an electric motor that is configured to generate regenerative energy and provide a regenerative braking torque. The powertrain system includes an electronic control unit coupled to the electric motor. The electronic control unit is configured to cause an accelerator pedal to rotate about its pivot point to increase a total available stroke in response to an energy recovery mode being activated. The electronic control unit is configured to control an amount of the regenerative braking torque to be applied using an accelerator pedal position. The electronic control unit is configured to cause the accelerator pedal to rotate about its pivot point to decrease the total available stroke in response to the energy recovery mode being deactivated.
