I have a Bolt and the brake pads rarely get used. It's almost all regenerative braking, I would bet it's much better than ICE cars.

Tire wear on the other hand... :(




I love the little hand flap that does max regen. Bolt could be a cult classic too bad GM was in such hurry to kill it.


They’ve unkilled it last I heard. I got an email a few months ago from Chevrolet saying they decided to keep making Bolts due to their popularity, and to keep an eye out for the next model in 2024 or 2025 (can’t remember which year).


Same here with my Bolt EUV. The only time I use the brakes are when I occasionally misjudge how quickly I’m coming up on a turn and one-pedal braking isn’t slowing me down fast enough; or when I first leave home, the car is fully charged, and one-pedal braking can’t regenerate the battery any further so it won’t brake for me.
