My experience is quite the
My experience is quite the opposite than the view expressed in this article. I have a 2018 Prius Prime and live in southern Ontario, Canada. At 24,000 miles my vehicle required rotors and pads all around. After some discussion, the dealer agreed to cover the full cost. The odometer is now at 37,000 miles and the car needs rear rotors and pads while the fronts are acceptable for now. Corrosion is the enemy of brakes on hybrids. Because of regenerative braking the mechanical brakes rarely get a good workout and rust can buildup and eventually eat away at the rotors. Environmental conditions, road salt and having the car sit too much can make the situation worse, as in my case. We owned a 2008 Prius for 10 years and over 200,000 miles and, although our experience wasn't as extreme, it required brakes more frequently.
