This is a misleading whataboutism.

EVs use primarily regen for braking, so they contribute almost no brake wear. And that isn't even a problem.

It matters what is emitted. Tire wear particles are relatively large, and don't stay in the air.

Anti-EV disinformation uses the trick of counting pollution by weight, which completely discounts gaseous emissions, which is the real pollution that people breathe in.




Please make your substantive points without internet tropes like "whataboutism" and "disinformation", which are really just forms of name-calling at this point. Your comment would be fine without those bits.
