- growlist 8y agoI read somewhere that 50% of particulate pollution comes from brake discs/pads and tyres, meaning that electric cars will still cause air pollution. But hey, half as bad is twice as good.
- kaybe 8y agoThe existence of regenerative breaking means that the amount of pollution from the little friction breaking still necessary should be much less.
- NullPrefix 8y agoRegenerative breaking doesn't wear pads, so only emergency breaking would count towards that 50%.
- Symbiote 8y ago> black soot in my nose in London. That's probably dust from the London Underground, which is mostly iron (from the rails and wheels), brake dust (ceramic) and dead skin.
