Regenerative braking certainly is reduced by EV's; a Tesla may never replace its brakes during its lifetime. Reading the paper, the dominant source of PM2.5/PM1

Regenerative braking certainly is reduced by EV's; a Tesla may never replace its brakes during its lifetime.
Reading the paper, the dominant source of PM2.5/PM10 is resuspension of dust already on the road, rather than tires or brakes.
- kwhitefoot 7y ago> a Tesla may never replace its brakes during its lifetime. If you live in a northern area where they salt the roads you will need to reduce regen or perhaps occasionally do an emergency stop to grind the corrosion off the brake disks in the winter. I had to have two brake disks replaced at the last service on my 2015 S 70D because they were too rusty. But generally speaking you are correct.
- uoaei 7y agoWhat's the dominant source of dust on the road? Would expect a large amount of that to be tire/brake wear.
