Electric vehicles (EVs) have a completely different drivetrain compared to an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle or even hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) As such, the operation of the vehicle also introduces new driving habits.
The brakes on an EV or a hybrid are actually a contributor to their efficiency.
The main difference between friction brakes and regenerative brakes is how the electric motor behaves.
Regenerative braking charges the battery and when done and done appropriately, it increases your efficiency.
If you're coming from a high-altitude location with lots of steep downhill roads, you don't have to charge an EV to 100 percent full because you can take advantage of regenerative braking.
You actually use the friction brakes a lot less in EVs and hybrids, which is common to see EVs that still have their original friction brakes even after 10 years or so .
By not using friction brakes as often, the discs and pads end up collecting road grime and other impurities.
