What Causes Brake Failure in Electric Vehicles?
1 Answers
Electric vehicle brake failure can be attributed to the following reasons: Lack of maintenance on the braking system: Excessive impurities in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, failure of the vacuum booster pump, contaminated brake fluid or mixing different types of brake fluid causing vapor lock when heated, leakage in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinder, and air leaks in the air reservoir or pipeline connections. Improper operation: Mechanical failure due to improper operation, such as prolonged downhill driving causing the brake pads to overheat from friction, carbonization of the brake drum, and complete loss of braking function. Severe overloading: Severe overloading increases the vehicle's momentum due to gravitational acceleration, directly leading to brake failure.
