That's been debunked. Tire particulates are mainly linked to weight, and electric cars tend to be heavier than comparable capacity gas cars. But: - gas cars emit more brake pad particulates - EV have lower rolling resistance tires so at equal weight, they emit less tire particulates So if comparing a pickup vs an EV, the pickup is heavier and will pollute more in terms of both tailpipe and tire particulates.
