    Totally with you, but tire dust is one of the major pollution particles from cars, maybe even the worst AFAIK. That, sadly will not go away but it is still leagues more desireable to have everything on electric than fossil fuel. Can’t have perfect stop good enough.

      Yep, tire pollution is even worse with EVs due to their weight. But overall it’s still much better as you said.

        It would help if cars went back to a reasonable size and not the absurdly large monstrosities that dominate the market today.

          It’s even hard to find an EV sedan. There are like 3 models under $70k. Everyone wants to make SUVs instead.

            That’s the real kicker. Gets especially hard if you don’t want a Tesla.

            Many of the conservatives who cite heaviness of EVs as a problem didn’t say shit as ICE cars got heavier and they bought F150s to go to Walmart.
