    Electric cars still have brakes, they just also use regenerative braking. The brake pads will wear down much slower, though, so you’re right that it will help.

      I didn’t change the brake pads on mine in 5 years. I used to change them every year with my previous car (living in a mountain area).

        Sounds like a good idea to have them fail when you really need them. Most people won’t use them occasionally in order to “clean them up” from rust etc.
