Same standards as e.g.

2026

Audi Q8 e-tron:

"Popular electric car recalled due to brake pedal problem" [1]

A problem with a "screw connection" (unclear whether this is a mounting screw or it serves some other purpose) can cause the brake pedal to malfunction.

or, in 2024

Audi Q4 e-tron, Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7:

"Dangerous error in popular electric cars: brakes can cease functioning" [2]

It says that the ABS pump could drop off which would cause brake fluid to leak out which in turn causes the brakes to cease functioning.

Using a mechanical ABS in an electric car might be part of the problem

As opposed to thoughts and prayers-based ABS?

		Some cars are going with entirely electrically actuated brakes, either inboard on on-hub, compared to the E-Tron which uses traditional hydraulically actuated brakes. One uses an electric motor to wind something to tighten the spring clip by pulling it that then pushes the pads to the rotor and the other uses pressure to overcome the spring by pushing the spring to compress it and push the pads to the rotor. I'm guessing Audi didn't go with entirely electric brakes because they have a reputation for being harsh and difficult to modulate with the pedal, and Audi is supposed to be both a luxury and sport brand where pedal feel is important.

		No, just any combination of electric regenerative braking combined with electrically controlled brakes. It is an electric car after all
