Right I’m sure that software coding would take care of this in the Volt if they would care to do it

Full stop in low
I really wish that they would reprogram or offer a software update to have the Volt come to a full stop using regen rather than creep in low. The creep although doing exactly what it is designed to do —- mimic a gas automatic transmission— is irritating in this car and my leg gets tired of the brake pedal, which given the strong regen and the regen paddle I really only use now otherwise for sudden stops. Since they apparently implemented this in the Bolt in low, I assume there is no hardware related reason they couldn’t have that code deployed in the Volt? Really wish they did...

My guess is since this is already existing in the Bolt it would not take much for them to port the programming over to the Volt!

Selecting it to creep or not would be fine with me.

Seems to me that given the Bolt uses essentially the same control hardware and this is already written into the Bolt code for L mode, GM could easily update the Volt software to provide this option.I noticed in the model 3 video an option to switch creep on/off & thought that was something that seems simple and that they should offer in the volt. I really like driving in L, but wish I had that as an option.

Interesting point. I think this is the case with the Bolt, though. Anybody know if that is addressed in the Bolt?I don't think GM wants you to sit at a light holding the regen. You need to hold the car with the hydraulic brakes in case you are rear ended. Holding regen would send you into oncoming traffic after a rear collision.
