Actually, it is not just a 'hip, new word'. It's entirely different than engine braking. Regenerative breaking actually captures some of the energy otherwise lost. It also works by simply pushing the brake pedal. Engine braking does neither of those things.
I own a '07 Prius with 90K miles, still on the factory brake pads. I expect them to last until at least 150K, if not more.
- ajross 14y agoMy '04 Prius has about the same mileage (though likely more stop/start cycles due to less highway driving) and is still on the original brakes too.
- bduerst 14y agoUgh, now I'm convinced my next car needs regenerative braking.
- krsunny 14y agoThat's because it does. Don't argue with yourself.
