EV Brake Systems & Regenerative Blending
Preventing caliper oxidation, testing brake fluid boiling points, and regenerative brake blending.
EV Brake System Specifics
Because regenerative braking provides up to $80\%$ of deceleration, hydraulic friction brakes operate infrequently, leading to accelerated caliper corrosion in wet European climates.
Maintenance Recommendations:
- Caliper Slide Pin Lubrication: Annual disassembly and cleaning of brake caliper slide pins.
- Fluid Moisture Testing: Replacing brake fluid when moisture content exceeds $3\%$ to prevent vapour lock.
- Mechanical De-Rusting Cycles: Performing forced friction braking maneuvers to strip surface rotor oxidation.
