As for the brakes, it is called one foot driving. As you let off the "gas" pedal, the regenerative braking kicks in and you glide to a stop where the car just holds. Think of it like downshifting to a complete stop. If you need the brakes, they are still there, but you hardly ever use them. So they last forever.
I'm tone deaf and the hum of a car means I need to be lip reading to understand anyone talking, which is kinda hard.

So it was amazing for me to be in an electric for the first time.. because I could hear. Its a selling point I don't think they push enough.
