How about this…. EV tire pollution vs ice tire pollution plus tailpipe emissions. Which is greater? Do you know what vehicles they are getting tailpipe emission measurements from? something no American would drive or have available to even purchase. 😂 Edited March 5 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member BOHICA Posted March 5 Author Gold Member Share Posted March 5 Right from the study that the NY Post used to rally the gullible retards. “Nevertheless, it is important to say that a gentle BEV driver, with the benefit of regenerative braking, can more than cancel out the tire wear emissions from the additional weight of their vehicle, to achieve lower tire wear than an internal combustion engine vehicle” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The EV Advantage Has Been Vastly Overstated Toyota It is often touted that EVs have a big advantage over ICE vehicles because they are more environmentally friendly, but that's not necessarily true. EVs don't pollute while driving, but making and charging them is a dirty business. A lot more pollution is generated by manufacturing an EV than a gas-powered vehicle, and the electricity to charge them mostly comes from fossil fuel power plants. In a study, Reuters found an EV needs to be driven for about 12 years to break even with the carbon emissions required to build and charge it. The primary way to recycle EV batteries is called pyrometallurgy, which is a process of melting down the battery packs and burning off the plastic to extract the desirable metals within. It's an energy-intensive process that releases toxic gasses, which is decidedly not eco-friendly. It's also not something that's widespread as only around five percent of EV batteries get recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills, leaching poisons into the ground. Tying in with the affordability advantage of ICE vehicles, replacing an EV battery can get quite expensive. Getting a new battery pack installed on a Ford Mustang Mach-E costs $18,514 for the standard range and jumps to $23,648 for the extended range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of makes sense being EVs are much heavier than ice vehicles.....more mass to stop is hard on brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which eliminates the brakes being used in majority of braking events. Brakes on EV’s are well known to easily out last any ice vehicle brakes. If you are tracking a car yes heavier vehicles will likely go through brakes quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
