Hugh,

Interesting how the regenerative braking is reducing the wear and tear on the other system. I suspect it will vary among drivers as well, taking into account different driving styles.

In my experience, premature rear pad wear is a sign that the rear brakes are not getting exercised and begin to stick and drag. We saw this on my wife's MR2. She did not drive it hard at all and the calipers seized in a couple of years (daily driver in the salt-covered roads in winter).
