Wouldn't an electric car with good filtration bringing cabin air in from the outside do this inherently?

- Tade0 1y agoThe figures are sufficient, but only when the blowers are at full throttle. A room air purifier does around 300m3/h, while the blowers eat through around 150m3/h at max speed. Problem is that hardly anyone uses them like that, considering the noise. Meanwhile a car with a 1.5l engine turning at an average of 1500RPM will suck through 135m3/h. There's no data available for Audi's system, but at this size they could easily go way beyond 300m3/h.
- Schiendelman 1y agoSure, so maybe an order of magnitude lower impact than a room air purifier. But it sounds like they could conceivably be a net benefit already. Or perhaps once we change tire formulations to be less toxic.
