- gambiting 6y agoTha car slows down by using its electric motor to generate electricity instead. So actual brakes are only used for really heavy breaking. I see the same effect in my PHEV which uses its electric motor to regenerate power - after a year of ownership the brake pads are like new, there is no wear on them at all.
