Of course, tire wear is greater on electric vehicles, owing to their greater mass. Cars in general are bad for air quality, EV are not really an improvement compared to mass transit.
- boringg 4y agoSo higher tire wear, zero emissions in the city. EVs are a step change in air pollution in the city - I whole heartedly disagree. Looks like we need to work on better tire technology as well (they cause a lot of problems in the local runoff of water).

Cities are where mass transit and cycling are most viable as alternatives to driving and where the effects of air pollution from driving are most pronounced.
