No. The brakes are never engaged at all. It’s all done by converting the kinetic energy from your spinning wheels into electrical energy that gets stored in the battery.  This forces the wheels to stop spinning.


Practically speaking, on teslas at least, at this point you stop most of the way by lifting your foot, then press the brake to be sure you don’t roll any further.  It all feels very natural once you are used to it.


FWIW, I’ve never needed to replace my brakes - it’s a lot less wear and tear this way.


Number of states in our country minus the number of Supreme Court Justices?
