I would like to see the predictive value of this study vis-a-vis greatly increasing electric car usage. Holding all variables constant (keeping temperatures level might be tricky), we should see some crime decreases, particularly in Oslo Norway, where electric cars are now > 33% of new sales. This sort of thing has happened before. Lead was removed in the late 70's, and, lo, 20ish years later, crime rates dropped -- perhaps, for the reason there are fewer neurological impacts growing up without airborne lead.

Non exhaust emissions account for 85% of PM 2.5 produced by a car. As EV's are heavier than equivalent combustion engine cars, the end tally is a savings of just 1%-3% by going electric. Don't get me wrong, any savings is an improvement, but EVs are not the 'green' transport revolution the industry wants to picture them as, just an incremental step. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/297889793_Non-exhaust_PM_emissions_from_electric_vehicles https://www.researchgate.net/publication/297889793_Non-exhau...
