The danger with electric vehicles is actually that the break pad is in risk of rusting since you don't use it enough

The same thing happens to ICE vehicles while parked. It usually isn't a big deal because the area most prone to rust is the rotor surface. And modern brake pads don't usually have any issues rubbing surface rust away very quickly.

Hit the brakes softly once after driving and the rust is gone.
