Do EV brakes last longer?

Do EV Brakes Last Longer? in a word, yes. This is because the motors on your electric vehicle slow the vehicle down unless you brake harshly such as in an emergency.

Understanding brake systems in electric vehicles

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are revolutionising the automotive industry with their eco-friendly design and advanced technology. One common question among EV owners is whether their brakes last longer compared to traditional vehicles. While EV brakes do experience less wear and tear due to regenerative braking, there are important factors to consider. Regenerative Braking - Unlike conventional vehicles that rely solely on friction brakes to slow down, EVs utilise regenerative braking to capture kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy to recharge the battery. This means that EV brakes experience less mechanical stress, leading many to believe that they last longer. However, relying solely on regenerative braking can lead to issues such as brake seizing. When EVs are not driven frequently or are subjected to prolonged periods of inactivity, the brakes can seize up due to lack of use. This can result in costly repairs and compromised safety if not addressed promptly.

Getting an EV service in the North West

Getting your brakes serviced on an Electric Vehicle (EV) is just as essential as it is for a traditional car with an engine. Contrary to common misconceptions, EV brakes require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and safety. Many EV owners believe in the "100,000 mile rule," assuming that their brakes will last much longer due to regenerative braking. However, neglecting brake maintenance based on this rule can lead to costly consequences. At Fastlane Autocare - The FastFit Centre, we understand the importance of proper brake maintenance for EVs.
