You'll probably want to get both of those checked immediately. Unless, of course, you've done trivial mileage in both vehicles. Sometimes brake wear isn't obvious - please get it checked!

In terms of exhaust emission outside a childcare setting, EVs are 100% better than ICE cars.

Of course, some emissions may be released by the factories building the cars, and by the mining and refinement of lithium. Perhaps if those facilities existed next to my kid's childcare I'd feel different. But the reality is that they're probably not located in densely populated areas, and it is far better to have emissions confined to one site (where it is regulated, monitored and filtered) than have billions of cars spewing fumes throughout populated areas.
