How would it be physically possible for BEV to be terrible for the local air like diesel? I could see lies being peddled, and yes there is a bit of tire and brake dust of course, but that doesn't warm the atmosphere. Overall, diesel just seems much dirtier than Bev.
- gsnedders 6y agoNote that the majority of particulate emissions from traffic _aren't_ from the power train. The fact that BEVs are heavier than the vehicles they replace means tyre, brake, and road wear are all worsened. In terms of particulates (and local air pollution), they're a marginal win if they're a win at all. See https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2016.03.017 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2016.03.017
