You don't never change them but it is pretty minimal. I put around 100k miles on my tesla and never had to change my brakes. If you treat an EV like a stick shift car and just time your stopping via coasting, you rarely need the brakes to the point where you have to slam on your brakes from time to time to burn off road junk
- mh- 2y agoGotcha. I live in a hilly area - regular +/- 2000 ft elevation changes on a given trip. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Brake maintenance sucks, even more than needing new tires.
- xeromal 2y agoSo I live in the SFV in socal where the area I live in is very flat but it's mountainous all around. One of the neat things is using a bunch of battery going up a mountain and then gaining 70% of the loss back going back down riding purely on regenerative charging rather than brakes. It's a game and I'm sure there's a lot of people that just jam on the brakes but it's a great way to save money and it's not so aggressive that you're causing a traffic jam on the way down.
