I had Toyota Yaris hybrid and after 3 years I had to replace brake pads twice due to rust. Apparently with regenerative braking I had not used them much. This prevented them from heating that normally removed any water buildup. Granted that was in Bergen, Norway where it rained a lot, but I learned that even in dryer climates this was a problem. After the first replacement I was asked to brake hard periodically to heat the pads. I started doing that, but it did not help much.
