I doubt it wears out the brakes any faster, since braking effort comes in part from recharging the battery, so it may even use the brake pads less overall. Maintenance costs for faults are a bit irrelevant when the car is under warranty. If your gas cost $8.25 a gallon like here and you didn't like diesels, you might find them more attractive
