I tried in the top of the Gen 3 forum, but like me, most people probably don't read the top entry in tat forum, so here goes here.
The brake pads on my vehicles typically last 300 to 400000 km - I rarely use the brakes the way I drive, and whee I drive. This also means that I rarely press the brake pedal. Typically the minimum trip on my vehicles is well over 100 km, and usually in very light traffic. So the brakes don't get used. How much will the motor in the HBB run compared to the average? If the HBB motor only gets used when I press on the brake pedal, theoretically I should never have to replace the motor or the unit itself. However, if the motor is running all the time, I would expect it to wear out in a finite time. Which is it - motor on all the time or only when the brakes are being used?
