EVs cut brake dust pollution by 83%!

[Tomentose]

When i take my dog to the park 7 minutes away, i start the drive at 90%, get there at 91% and get home back at 90%. I use sport mode all the time as it has phenomenal regen braking especially in rush-hour traffic. I routinely get home from a 50km daily commute to work with a 20kWh/100km result. the KIA Nero EV at work get 33 on average... Sport mode all the way if you hate 1pD like i do

Then you'll be replacing rotors and pads all the time.

A couple of things, first, brake pads are very inexpensive, secondly, I believe you have that backwards (ceramic brakes vs semi-metallic.) Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that we barely have to use the physical brakes too decelerate. It's just that going ev to eliminate brake dust sounds like marketing, lol.

I work on a fleet of vehicles and we switched to ceramic pads. Now we're replacing rotors along with pads because they wear them down faster.

I'll take your word for it, I just have my wife's car that uses ceramic. Still on original pads after 40,000 miles plenty left on them. I thought our trucks might also since I've never seen a bit of brake dust?
anyway it is pretty sweet we don't need to use our brakes. Biggest advantage imo is keeping vehicle out of the shop and on the road
