I’ve thought about this while cycling to work that I’m inhaling a bunch of exhaust, but with the push to EVs will this no longer be an issue? Dust and particulates that settle on asphalt will still be a problem though.

It will take time for exhaust particles to be significantly reduced as a result of EVs, plus, the increased weight of EVs will create more tire and asphalt wear, which is also quite bad (possibly worse).

EVs still have tires and brake pads. There's less pollution, but not none.

  Regenerative braking largely solves the brake pad issue. Some EVs are efficient enough that brake rotors rusting over from not being used is a concern.

    I don't see why would that be a concern. You use normal breaks every time you stop. You can't regeneratively break to 0.

Maybe we should keep the masks
