I sold auto parts for a decade and the better rotors used nickel as an alloy. A EV is usually much heavier from battery weight. Regen and dynamic braking circuits save energy. Hydraulic brakes are also needed to stop quickly in an emergency. Even if you don't fully cross drill the rotor a pattern of shallow holes helps.
