Electric cars still generate a massive amount of pollution. Brake pads and tire wear in particular are large sources for every type of car.

Tire wear yes, brake pads no. I drive a Leaf and use the friction brakes so infrequently that they get sticky if I don’t switch to neutral and do a hard stop now and then. Regen braking is amazing.
