Electric vehicles (EVs) have unique braking systems that require specialized knowledge for proper maintenance. Unlike traditional cars, EVs use regenerative braking, which reduces the use of conventional friction brakes. While this extends brake life, it can lead to issues such as rust and corrosion due to infrequent use.
To prevent premature brake wear, it’s recommended to apply the brakes regularly at the end of your trips to remove surface rust and wick away moisture from the brake rotors. Additionally, regular brake servicing is the key to reducing the risk of brake failure. Most EV manufacturers, including Tesla, recommend servicing your brakes at least once a year. During this service, all moving parts are cleaned and re-lubricated as needed, ensuring optimal performance and a longer lifespan for your brakes.
