Brake Pads (Regenerative Compatible)

Specialized brake pads designed for electric vehicles with regenerative braking systems

Brake Pad Overview

Key Specifications

  • Material: Low-metallic or ceramic compounds
  • Operating Temp: -40°C to +350°C
  • Friction Rating: FF (medium friction)
  • Lifespan: 80,000-150,000km typical
  • Price: $80 - $250 per axle set NZD

EV-Specific Features

  • • Specialized compound for intermittent use
  • • Corrosion-resistant backing plates
  • • Low-dust formulation
  • • Optimized for regenerative braking integration
  • • Enhanced wet weather performance

Benefits

  • • Much longer lifespan due to reduced use
  • • Specialized compounds for EV driving patterns
  • • Reduced brake dust compared to conventional pads
  • • Better corrosion resistance
  • • Optimized for instant regenerative braking
  • • Quieter operation with reduced noise
  • • Consistent performance at low temperatures

Considerations

  • • Higher cost than standard brake pads
  • • May develop surface rust from infrequent use
  • • Requires specific EV-compatible compounds
  • • Limited availability compared to standard pads
  • • May need periodic "exercising" for optimal performance
  • • Professional diagnosis recommended for replacement timing
