>non-exhaust emissions on an ICE vehicle are roughly 1/3 brake dust, 1/3 tire dust and 1/3 road dust. EV's have almost no impact on road dust, 83% lest brake dust and 20% more tire dust.

- Esophagus4 9mo ago> though much of this is attributable to a vehicle mix that is more focused on larger vehicles, as it seems like every EV manufacturer is making huge SUVs and few are making small cars My point exactly. Your new EV has more tire dust (and probably more brake dust) than my old, smaller ICE.
- Thorrez 9mo agoThe study found that despite EVs being heavier, they produce less total tire and break dust. They produce more tire dust, but less break dust.
