Well braking a heavier car by nature results in more brake wear. Of course whether the difference in wear is appreciable depends on how much weight difference we're talking about.No additional brake wear: Normally when EV's regen they only use the drive axle(s) and the other ones freewheel--they don't engage the friction brakes.
I just looked up my own question and the extra electric motor on the AWD model probably only adds about 70 pounds of weight. That's how much a Tesla motor weighs. So the AWD Mach-E won' t much if any difference in brake wear compared to the RWD Mach-E. ?
