True, but that applies to brake pads regardless of what type of vehicles they are used on. My point was that with regenerative braking, there should be less wearing of the pads, because they don’t have to be used as much.
And my point is: Regardless of the vehicle type, brake dust is not really pollution.
Since state of the art batteries can’t actually absorb most of the “regenerated” energy as a charge, it’s a false economy factor in their concept.
I believe the brake pads are always activated when you press the pedal - when the car is in regenerative braking mode part of the force is used to spin a generator, while the rest stops the car. It’s possible that the brakes are applied more and earlier with these systems.
