Considering such a large amount of a cars pollution comes from tyres and break dust it's true.

- timbit42 4y agoCO2 is our largest concern at the moment. Pollution from brake dust and tire dust isn't as important even if it's a large amount.
- extraduder_ire 4y agoBreak dust is way less of an issue with electric cars anyway, if they have regen-braking. Don't know how that'd be taxed proportionally though. I'm also living in a country where road tax is priced per CO2 emission rating (used to be by displacement pre-2006), and am sad nobody's selling kits to capture some or all of the CO2 emissions from exhaust.
- aldonius 4y agoBrake dust is less of an issue, but tyre dust is arguably worse (since EVs are near-unavoidably heavier than ICE equivalents).
