That sucks and welcome to the future of automobile repair. Does the driver use the regenerative braking? Both of my cars, hybrid with over 100,000 km and an EV with 80,000 km still have the original brake pads and rotors.

100k+ km out of a set of pads is about what I'd expect even in ICE cars when used as just a daily driver (I'd still want to be able to change them when they do eventually wear out though). The owner of this case however was taking the car on track days and that will blow through brakes very quickly if you're having a proper go at it.
