brake pads in EVs deteriorate much more slowly due to regenerative braking. I've had 2 EVs and haven't replaced the pads on either before I sold them.

- belltaco 4y agoI think the tires themselves degrade faster due to higher weight of EVs(battery weight essentially).
- legohead 4y agoDidn't have to replace the tires on our Kona which we had to 25k miles, but it was probably near time. That thing came with terrible tires, and Hyundai didn't bother tuning the car too much -- the tires would skip every time if you floored it.
