Many people complained when VW "dared" to use drum brakes in the rear of ID.3, but it's a good idea, I think. Drum brakes do not pollute (as much), are cheaper, and easier to maintain. In the front, there are still regular disk brakes, and together with regen (recuperation), the overall use of polluting disk brakes is minimized. I'd be curious to see how much brake dust pollution is produced on average in this setup, compared to a regular ICE car with 4 disk brakes and no regen.
