Just replaced the front brakes on my 2012 LEAF at 77,700 miles and exactly 6 years.
Are you on your first or second battery pack? Trying to determine when you went through a period of reduced re-gen...which would (theoretically) cause additional brake wear.
First a correction, it was the rear brakes that were replaced. I find that odd as any other car I've owned always went through front brakes faster.
I have the original battery, down 25% according to LeafSpy, down 2 bars on the dash. I have to charge to 100% (currently 214 GIDs) half the year to make my 40 mile one-way commute. So for half the year I lose regen for the beginning of each commute as well as due to the cold, typically between 10 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit for the worst few months.
Is my regen permanently reduced due to the battery degradation?
