Electric vehicles

  • eliminate tailpipe emissions
  • cut brake dust emissions in half
  • pollute less as we transition to renewable energy
  • let us work toward elimination the huge polluting industries for gasoline refining and distribution
  • let us shrink the huge polluting industries of oil extraction and refining
  • are a huge step toward slowing the growth of climate change.

While I completely agree transit, and walkable cities are much better, EVs are not nothing. More importantly, given the amount of time to build transit and walkable cities, EVs get us many of the advantages NOW

They also increase tyre wear particles due to their greater weight and torque
