. . . GM's EV-1 electric vehicle is launched in 1997 with great 
fanfare from California consumers. It was the first perfect car of 
the modern age, requiring no gas, no oil, no mufflers, and no brake

Why would there be no brake changes? Electric and hybrid cars have 
regenerative braking but they also have ordinary brakes as well. I 
suppose it would be less wear and tear on the brakes but eventually 
they would need service.
