LOL, ever heard of particulates from road wear and tire wear? Guess how the production of those scales with higher speeds? > Vehicles are most efficient travel

LOL, ever heard of particulates from road wear and tire wear? Guess how the production of those scales with higher speeds? > Vehicles are most efficient traveling at a consistent, relatively high speed. Guess what, that's changing with EVs. Hybrid or not. > Environmentally, the optimal road is flat and straight with no traffic control devices or other reasons for vehicles to change speed, i.e. a highway. Awesome, put those where nowhere lives.

> LOL, ever heard of particulates from road wear and tire wear? Guess how the production of those scales with higher speeds? I didn't have to guess because I looked it up. Turns out it's much more proportional to acceleration/deceleration than absolute speed. > Guess what, that's changing with EVs. Hybrid or not. But EVs can charge from renewable sources and then they don't have any fuel-related emissions. > Awesome, put those where nowhere lives. Roads are used for going from where people live to where they want to go.

  > But EVs can charge from renewable sources and then they don't have any fuel-related emissions. That was my point. Maybe the paragraph order was confusing. > Roads are used for going from where people live to where they want to go. They (or stroads, or highways) shouldn't be used in place of streets. A city should have the minimal set of roads to get the job done, everything else should be traffic calmed streets.

> Guess how the production of those scales with higher speeds? I am guessing you don’t know yourself which is why you’re posing questions as an argument. > Guess what, that's changing with EVs. Hybrid or not. It’s not changing. Consistency of speed is important no matter what. Regenerative braking is imperfect.

  1. I do know, higher speeds, higher particulate production from road and break wear. 2. Yes, it is changing, LOL. And this is not about breaks. I was talking about power consumption. EV power consumption, unlike ICEs, is linear. So EV are obviously more power efficient at lower speeds. Besides the particulate generation aspect outlined before.
