Added weight is an underappreciated problem. Heavier cars mean more tire wear. More tire wear means more pollutants --going back to natural rubber isn't an option either...
EVs tend to use the brakes less and of course there are no pollutants from combustion. I'd really like to see an indepth comparison of how much pollutants EVs produce locally vs. ICEs.
As if the tiny amount of additional tire wear is going to create as much pollution as burning petrol and keeping the engine lubricated with oil.
