This is true about EVs, but it all just depends on how hard you are on your brakes. I routinely go 70k+ miles in ICE cars with the same brake pads. My mom on the other hand had to change hers about every 30k miles. YMMV.
a lot of that can depend on your commute. If you commute over hills, you can expect shorter time between replacing brake pads.
Having said this, if you can go 70k+ miles with the same brake pads, you could likely go much further than that if the car had regenerative braking.
I haven't really had to engage the friction brakes on my EV in the past 30,000mi, other than intentionally having a few hard stops to scrape rust off the rotors from not using them for so long.
My standard non EV gas car is 45k same pads?
Except mine are basically new.
I should add a little bit of honesty here. I did replace my brakes but only because they were rusting from not being used enough! So I bought stainless steel pads and those look great.
