Yes exception for very cold weather when regen is limited. Not so much to do with road salting, just use of brake pads versus non use, although salt could help cause rust to disks, not pads, which could in turn affect pads. But yes certain conditions may vary.

This makes no sense. Reducing or turning off regen would make brake pad wear worse, not better. As an owner I assume you know your stuff so typo maybe?
- kwhitefoot 7y agoI was talking about the disks, sorry I didn't make that clear. If the rust is too extensive then the car will fail its periodic test. All cars in Norway must be tested every two years (first test when the car is four years old) and the condition of the brake disks is one of the check points. I agree that the pads will last much longer with regen but the pads are relatively cheap compared to the disks.
