Why EVs Need Special Brake Pads – And How Annatbrake Is Leading the Way
As the automotive industry transitions rapidly toward electric vehicles (EVs), many components are being reimagined to meet the unique demands of this new era — including the humble brake pad. While EVs may seem to require fewer braking components due to regenerative braking systems, the reality is more complex. Here's why EVs need brake pads tailored to their needs — and how Annatbrake is prepared to lead the shift.
1. EV Braking Is Different
Unlike traditional combustion-engine vehicles, EVs often rely heavily on regenerative braking — a system that recovers energy during deceleration and sends it back to the battery. While this means the mechanical brake pads are used less frequently, it doesn't mean they are less important.
In fact, the reduced use can lead to unique challenges:
- Brake pads may corrode or glaze over time due to infrequent use.
- EVs are often heavier, placing more load on the pads during actual braking.
- Lower overall noise levels in EVs mean that brake noise is more noticeable, requiring ultra-quiet friction materials.
2. Special Requirements for EV Brake Pads
EVs demand a new class of brake pads. At Annatbrake, with over 30 years of experience in the friction material industry and proven formulas developed from top European OE brands like Textar and Ferodo, we understand the future of braking.
Key features of an ideal EV brake pad include:
- Low noise, even under minimal pressure.
- Low wear rate to complement regenerative braking.
- Rust-resistant materials, since EVs often brake less.
- Stable performance at low temperatures, due to limited heat buildup.
3. How Annatbrake Is Innovating for EVs
Annatbrake has begun developing and adapting its formulas to suit electric vehicles, focusing on:
- NAO (Non-Asbestos Organic) and ceramic-based formulas for silent operation.
- Low-metal and copper-free compositions aligned with global environmental standards.
- Enhanced shim design and slot/chamfer engineering for better NVH control.
Whether you're working with EVs like BYD, Tesla, Toyota bZ4X, or MG4, our development roadmap already includes coverage for these platforms.
4. What’s Next?
EV brake systems are not a simplified version of combustion-vehicle braking — they’re a new frontier. At Annatbrake, we are committed to delivering OE-quality, eco-friendly, and custom-engineered brake pads that meet the needs of the future.
