My electric car (from 2014) has other stupid features, but at least, no electric parking brake. Rear pads were obviously very thin by now, and most likely the previous owner also changed them once. So I went to a self-service workshop last spring, brought along spare parts from a shop across the road, replaced them.
Annoying part: drums came off relatively poorly, the new pad set needed treatment with a disc grinder (allegedly compatible part, but a tiny bit of metal was 2 mm too long).
When the time comes and my factory made car wears down, I intend to build another DIY e-car, as I’ve done twice before.
Eventually, you do need to.
