Such fantastic news! One day the stink of cars will be a memory.

Worry not: they'll still pollute because the tires running on the road release micro-particle, a problem which EVs didn't solve and which the tendency for bigger cars, which is unrelated to EV adoption but has been happening in parallel, makes worse.

Mind you, EVs are much better, but cars are still a problem on the pollution front (and the danger for people front, and the stealing of natural public spaces to put roads on front, and on the making most of the public space dangerous for children to play in front and so on).

I have seen this comment made about tires only in the last few years. I am curious why people are concerned about it now? Also I have only seen it when EVs are reducing CO2 emissions. It has nothing at all to do with reduced gas and CO2 emissions.
