It might be a lesser rate but they still burn them (and the tires). I am not claiming EVs cause more of it. I am claiming is a problem and reckless driving only magnifies it.

They… really don’t. My Leaf has the original brake pads after 70k miles, with virtually no wear.

I have to deliberately use them every few months to scrub the oxidation layer off. That’s how infrequently an EV uses brakes.

Tires, yes. Brakes, no.
