| aspect | electric car | combustion-powered car |
|---|---|---|
| braking type | regenerative + mechanical | mechanical only |
| brake wear | slower, due in particular to regenerative braking | faster |
| disc maintenance | regenerative braking can reduce brake wear, but care must be taken with corrosion | This will depend on your driving style. Pads and discs are subject to greater stress, so they need to be replaced more often |
| driving feel | strong engine braking, "one-pedal" possible | conventional braking |
