My Bolt EUV doesn’t hold itself on a hill as well as mechanical brakes. That and having a redundant system on board is usually never seen as a bad thing.
Yeah, that’s kind of my joke when I describe driving it to my gas car friends. Still want them on my cars though for emergency quick stops. Met a deer on a blind hill earlier this year and had to come to a stop in a short distance. Otherwise yeah, regen braking for everything else and test the mechanical brakes once per trip to ensure they work.

pads don’t wear down if you aren’t moving, tbf
