Corroded (rear) discs

[PeteC]

If it's an EV press the accelerator and brake at the same time whilst driving and brakes will be applied not regen just keep accelerating . Or do an emergency stop your brakes will activate. Not regen .

I did this before my third service and first MoT. I guess it must have worked as I had been told about having rusty brakes at the second service but they didn't get a mention this time.

What about using Snow mode? Does that use minimal to no regen?

Snow mode still uses regen albeit not as much , it's all about not relying on regen to bring you to a halt use the brake pedal so that the brakes will stay pretty rust free.

Volkswagen got round the issue with using old tech on the rear brakes, they switched back to drum brakes

Yep, it's hard to believe, but apparently the ID7 uses rear drums. S'pose they know what they are doing..

For an EV, drum brakes on the rear (assuming rear wheel drive - the axle upon which the motor is mounted is the one that'll do regen) make sense as they don't get used much in normal driving.
