The brakes when used, all get used, so they wear out at pretty much an even rate between the front and the back. A FEH compared to a conventional Escape uses the disc brakes far less due to the regenerative braking; so much so that a FEH may only need disc maintenance 1/2 to 1/4 of the time that a conventional Escape would. (Depending on your driving, or more specifically your braking habits.)

Don't let them BS you either, a number of systems are different and many things operate differently on a FEH from a conventional Escape; the FEH isn't just an Escape with a battery.
