Even brake pad wear is greatly reduced with EVs, thanks to regenerative braking.

  Maybe a good time to fuel research into new material ?

    A new material for what?
    • agumonkey 6y ago
      brake pads

        Perhaps I missed something, but if we are using brake pads even less because of regenerative braking in EVs, why do we need a new material for them?

          to get to even lower particule levels nothing else

  OECD published a report[1] on EVs lately. I haven't read it but according to various press sources it claims that EVs might make things worse, e.g.[2]: "The report assumes that diesel and gasoline-powered cars are going to be replaced with electric vehicles, eliminating tailpipe emissions, but that problematic PM emissions will remain or even increase."

    I’m very skeptical of that claim.
