Actually, the opposite is true because they make heavy use of regenerative breaking.

What EV’s produce more of is tire particulates due to weight.

PS: And now the post says tires.




They said tire dust, though, and I don't see an "edited" note there


Said breaks when I replied, though the article is talking about breaks so it’s an easy slip up.


Sorry, I meant tires, but momentarily mixed it up with brakes.


Thanks, it's fine.

I thought the post had changed, but I wasn't 100%


Brakes. Different thing


The same applies to tires though. The driving style EVs encourage (avoid heavy braking to allow regenerative charging) reduces tire wear too.
