> There is more pollution from breaks and tires than tailpipes. Absolute hogwash. Where could you even get that idea? How much material is there in a set of tires that you will lose over the life of the tire? How many miles will it take to lose that material? Now consider how many hundreds of gallons of gas you will burn before those tires wear out. > So even if you replace every car with an EV, the net pollution reduction will be marginal. [0] According to the EPA, 29% of greenhouse gases emitted in the USA come from Transportation. Of that, only 58% of that comes from "Light-Duty Vehicles", ie, cars. That means if we replaced all cars with EVs, it would be ~17% reduction in GHG. Whether or not 17% is "marginal" is somewhat subjective on your definition of the word. https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/fast-facts-transportation-greenhouse-gas-emissions https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/fast-facts-transportation-...
