Of course. As far as I know, every EV also has a normal brake pedal that operates normally using normal brake technologies.
The goal is to maximize regenerative braking since it is frictionless and recovers energy, while minimizing friction braking because it wastes energy, requires maintenance and pollutes.
EV drivers should expect double the life of their brakes, or more. Manufacturers also have incentive to maximize regenerative braking, since it directly increases the range of their vehicle at very little cost to them.
Wonderful tech! Extremely dangerous and illegal to have without also having brake pads…
This reduces wear on brake pads. It doesn’t eliminate the need for them.
