EV Brake System Servicing

Regenerative braking • Friction brake integration • One-pedal driving systems

Advanced EV Brake Technology

Electric vehicles use sophisticated regenerative braking systems that capture kinetic energy and convert it back to electrical energy, extending range while reducing wear on traditional friction brakes.

Our certified technicians service both regenerative and friction brake systems for Tesla, BMW, Ford, Rivian, and all major EV brands. From brake fluid changes to regenerative system calibration, we ensure optimal stopping power and energy recovery.

⚠️ Signs You Need Brake Service:

  • • Reduced regenerative braking effectiveness
  • • Unusual brake pedal feel or travel
  • • Squealing or grinding noises
  • • One-pedal driving not working properly
  • • Brake warning lights on dashboard

Brake System FAQ

How long do EV brake pads last?

EV brake pads typically last 100,000-200,000 miles due to regenerative braking doing most of the work. Traditional friction brakes are used mainly for final stopping and emergency situations.

Can I adjust regenerative braking strength?

Most EVs allow regenerative braking adjustment. Tesla offers "Chill" and "Standard" modes, while others provide multiple levels. We can help optimize settings for your driving style.

Why does my EV brake pedal feel different?

EVs use brake-by-wire systems that blend regenerative and friction braking. The pedal feel is electronically controlled and can feel different from traditional hydraulic brakes.

Do EVs need special brake fluid?

EVs often use the same brake fluid as traditional cars (DOT 3/4), but some use specialized fluids. The hydraulic system is less used, so fluid lasts longer but still needs periodic service.

What is one-pedal driving?

One-pedal driving uses maximum regenerative braking when you lift off the accelerator, allowing you to slow down and stop using only the accelerator pedal for most situations.
