- ejb999 3y agothey are both a problem, but if you buy a 'small' EV and it weighs as much or more as a bigger ICE, the EV contributes more of this type of pollution.
- sp332 3y agoThe Tesla Model 3 "Standard Range Plus" weighs less than the lightest Ford F150 trim. (3,600 pounds vs 4,000)
- Freedom2 3y agoThat doesn't seem likely, F150s are built to be light and agile, as well as environmental friendly.
- firecall 3y agoWe would be wise to be sceptical of all these EV tyre pollution reports coming out. At best it’s clickbate reporting, and at worst it’s a biased agenda anti EV campaign. Maybe like for like the weight of a vehicle of a given size contributes to increased tyre wear, but you can’t argue that generally vehicles are so large that we need further analysis of the overall impact etc…. The number Dual Cab Utes on the school run around us is just bonkers.
- timeon 3y agoThe elephant in the room is that the actual problem are cars.
- Gibbon1 3y agoYeah that's my thought. EV's are better than cars but they are still cars. The big elephant in the room for me is people having to drive long distances to work because the companies managers all want to live near each other. We could put policies into place to put workplaces closer to where people live at the expense of managers. Or we can keep doing what we do now which is blame workers for commuting. AKA Hector works as a maintenance tech, commutes from Vallejo to Mountain View. Drives 30,000 miles a year. Hector is the problem. Kieth is the VP of sales. He bicycles to work from Cupertino. Good job Kieth.
