I heard from someone working at a big car producer that they force EV’s to use the mechanical brakes every now and then because if not, they rust away.

They rust away either way. They need to be occasionally applied so that when you use them, it doesn’t take half a block to grind the rust off.

The same problem occurs if you let an ICE car sit unused for a while.
