Since EVs are heavier and accelerate better they probably produce more tire dust.

Not necessarily. EVs have also an almost perfect traction control due to immediate torque control by the electric motor, so it’s very difficult to spin wheels in situations of low traction, which reduces tire wear and emissions.

On ICE cars, it’s much slower with way higher latency due to the mechanical inertias.
