Electric vehicle brake wear at 40k miles (on a Hyundai Ioniq 38kWh)

Подробнее о видео

In this video I look at the brake pads and discs during a service on a 3 year old Hyundai Ioniq Electric that has done 40,000 miles. The brake pads have only worn by 1mm and will typically last 150,000 miles or more. It's usually rusting off the backing plate which means they need replacing before the friction material wears down. The same goes for the brake discs. But if clean, they can last the life of the vehicle.
But its one of those anti-EV myths that electric vehicles wear the brakes down quicker as they're heavier. In fact it's the complete opposite and EVs are contributing far less brake particle matter into the environment than ICE vehicles do.
