I don't have a specific study but regenerative breaking as used in commercial EVs would mean less particulate from breakpads etc. not more.

- darknavi 5y agoMUCH less. Like one or two sets of break pads on a car for its lifetime.
- jeffbee 5y agoI'd be surprised if it was even 1. There was no measurable wear on the brake pads over the lease of my Nissan Leaf. It didn't even engage the hydraulic brakes often enough to knock the rust off the discs.

- oblio 5y agoGood point about break pads, I completely forgot about those. The thing is, that's another aspect where I'd naively assume tires are a much larger factor. I'm probably wrong, though.
- hinkley 5y agoMy DSG gearbox does regenerative braking all on its own and the brake life is really long. Though I did discover when I do replace them they won’t be quite as good because copper sintering has been outlawed due to metal pollution.
