> For decades, tailpipe emissions — both the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and the particulates that cause air pollution — have overshadowed the tire problem This is no longer the case with EVs (no tailpipe emissions), so the next thing to tackle is tire pollution. EVs also produce more tire pollution than ICE vehicles because they are heavier (because of the batteries) and accelerate quicker (because electric engines have instant torque).
