Uh, what? All else equal, a heavier vehicle will emit more brake dust. Basic physics says so. If you want to claim otherwise, bring a source.

It may be the case that electric cars, thanks to regenerative braking, do not emit more brake dust than a lighter non-electric car, but that's not what the parent comment here was saying.

They're not equal.
