Are you aware of the risks associated with traditional brake pads? In this conversation between Montu Khokhar, Blake Fuller, and myself, we explore the potential dangers of traditional brake pads, how they can deteriorate without owners knowing, and the causes of brake pad failure. Don't wait until it's too late to discover these critical issues with your vehicle's braking system. For all vehicles, but electric vehicles especially, brake pads are one of the most important components of the vehicle and keeping them in proper shape is essential to safe operation. The misconceptions that EV owners have about how braking systems work on these cars could lead to some very dangerous situations if not properly addressed. For more information: NRS Brakes - https://www.nrsbrakes.comDon't forget to like the video and subscribe to the EV Resource channel for more of your favorite EV content!Follow EV Resource on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evresource1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_resourceTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/EV_ResourceWebpage: https://www.ev-resource.comEmail: [email protected] the showConnect with EV Resource on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evresource1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_resourceTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/EV_ResourceWebpage: https://www.ev-resource.comEmail: [email protected]
