1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor in a regenerative braking vehicle (RBV), the RBV including a one-pedal control and a regenerative battery system; and
a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores code executable by the processor to:
detect a change in a driving context for the RBV,
monitor the regenerative battery system of the RBV to detect an amount of charge in the regenerative battery system,
determine an optimal time to notify a driver of the RBV to begin modifying pressure upon the one-pedal control based on a combination of the change in the driving context and the amount of charge in the regenerative battery system, and
transmit, at the optimal time via a driver notification apparatus, an alert to the driver of the RBV to begin modifying pressure upon the one-pedal control,
wherein the optimal time is one of earlier or later in time for a particular change in the driving context based the amount of charge in the regenerative battery system.
