amazed by the Nissan Ariya’s automatic brake hold feature

Just wanted to share my experience with my Ariya! Coming from a manual gas car, I used to put it in neutral+handbrake at stoplights. The Ariya's electric drivetrain eliminates the need for a neutral position. The convenient brake hold feature keeps the car stopped with a simple button press, which is much easier on my foot!

So I don't need to press anything to disable it right? Just step right away on the gas and it will disable automatically?

Yes, it just comes right off when you step on the throttle. You can come to a complete stop without hold kicking in: you have to be assertive on the brake, but it releases right when you want it to. Unlike neutral, it keeps you in place on non-level pavement (but I would be careful on an actual hill).
