> Brakes last forever due to regenerative breaking.
Regeneranive braking is 1/100 of a normal brake ability. It can be upto 10/100 if using resistors instead of the battery as the load.
- qwerpy 3y agoWhatever the exact number is, I sometimes go weeks without touching the actual brake pedal. If you’re not driving like a maniac, the gradual regen braking is enough almost all of the time.
- eimrine 3y agoGood point, probably you are living not in the city from this list :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_claimed_to_be_built_on_seven_hills https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_claimed_to_be_b...
- qwerpy 3y agoHah - actually my city (Seattle) is on that list. The regen isn’t enough to slow the car to a stop at the bottom of a hill when there’s an abrupt stop sign, but it’s usually enough to keep speed manageable.
