as they mainly use the motor for breaking.

For moderate braking at higher speeds sure, but not for your causal stoppages at intersections or heavier braking events.

I rarely ever use the brakes, even in the city -- I've become accustomed to letting off the gas at the correct distance for the regenerative braking to bring the car to a stop at the line. There's a good chance I might not replace the brakes for 10+ years.
