>emit more brake dust
This is false.
- 1970-01-01 4y agoDid you just downvote a fact?
- gkop 4y agoTop result for “do heavier vehicles emit more brake dust?” is https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590162121000216 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S259016212... > Heavier vehicles emit higher levels of brake and tire particles

- gkop 4y agoWe are talking about weight of vehicle and its impact on brake dust. Electric is another dimension.
- 1970-01-01 4y agosee top parent comment, its nowhere near as simple as weight adds dust, and hasn't been since brake pad tech changed about 20 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad#Materials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad#Materials
- LewisJEllis 4y agoUh, what? All else equal, a heavier vehicle will emit more brake dust. Basic physics says so. If you want to claim otherwise, bring a source. It may be the case that electric cars, thanks to regenerative braking, do not emit more brake dust than a lighter non-electric car, but that's not what the parent comment here was saying.
