EVs Release MORE Toxic Emissions Than Gas Cars

But but they told me that my coal-powered EV was better than your gas-powered car. EVs release more toxic emissions, are worse for the environment: study

I'm shocked that people would be lying about - or not know about - all the effects of electric vehicles on the environment.

It found that brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes, which have “efficient” exhaust filters, bringing gas-powered vehicles’ emissions to new lows.

Today, most vehicle-related pollution comes from tire wear.

As heavy cars drive on light-duty tires — most often made with synthetic rubber made from crude oil and other fillers and additives — they deteriorate and release harmful chemicals into the air, according to Emission Analytics.

I just love it when politicians think they know engineering, and so mandate the use of certain tech.

The bureaucrats are also doubling down, of course. (And it isn't because they have all heavily invested in electric cars!)
