Sorry, what do you mean by non-particulate emissions? Emissions that... aren't particles? Like broken glass from car windows?

  Things like ozone and carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide.

    Oh I see. But this is about non-exhaust emissions... does e.g. rubber rolling on the road generate gases like carbon monoxide? I feel like I'm missing something.

      I think 20after4 forgot we were talking about electric vehicles...? Or more charitably, they're talking about the supply chain? Unsure as well.

      At least for me, >90% of the annoyance caused by motorized vehicles is due to their exhausts. In my old city there was a spot where cyclists used to use the bus lane, combined with a stop. I would often have to wait behind the bus. Each time the bus started, it caused a bunch of smelly exhausts that I would breathe in directly. Absolutely horrible smell and also not a great feeling. The city then made a test with electric buses, and the bad smell was gone. Buses are the second worst only after mopeds, which have tiny motors so can't efficiently burn the gases. They are not just noisy but also leave a wake of horrible smell.
