    Of the direct operational sources of pollution:

    • co2 - none
    • ozone and exhaust particulates - none
    • brake dust - almost none
    • oil and fuel leaks - none
    • tire dust - 20% more

    EVs may not be perfect but they’re a HUGE improvement.

      Even the 20% more tyre wear… That should mean I need to replace tyres faster. I’ve had one new set in 5 years on my EV (at about year 4). My old car was every other year. Sure compounds change, but I’m just not seeing more tyre wear.
