There is no meaningful difference in responsiveness between Eco and Normal. Any power level between 0% and 100% is available at any time in either mode.
I beg to differ. It is very noticeable, and that makes it meaningful.
I have been experimenting more with the ECO mode lately. I've found it to be more pleasurable in high traffic situations. I can't really go anywhere fast so there's no reason to be using up all that extra energy for quick takeoffs.
I also seldom drive my Volt in the sports mode. While I consider the Leaf very easy to control in the drive mode, I think the Volt is a bit too jumpy to be driving it in the sports mode regularly.
