Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that regenerative brakes reduce brake pad wear?

Yes. A reference article states regenerative braking extends braking-system life because pads and discs wear out less quickly, and several engineering papers describe regenerative braking as reducing mechanical brake wear or brake-wear emissions.
