Another way electric cars clean the air: study says brake dust reduced by 83%

Exhaust isn't the only impact of cars, they also emit tiny brake particles. Thru regen braking, EVs reduce that (but bikes are even better!)

I call total bullshit on this. I drive a (work-provided) Prius every day. This thing has some serious get-up-and-go...meaning as I drive it every day I simply smoke those (front) tires. I leave most "performance cars" (ICE) behind at the light. That means that I am tossing micro-plastics out at a greater rate than most cars. I burn though tires every 15,000 miles.
When I get a red light (remember, I don't own it, it's a work car) I slam brakes until I can punch it again once it's clear. The regen-brake thing never applies given how I drive. The Prius is not inherently greener, it's just more fun than the ICE alternative I had before.
I do burn through a lot less gas so I guess 30-50 MPG is worth something.
I love my green alternative vehicle!
I personally drive my car like a maniac therefore this study must be false.... really?
What a weird flex
I call bullshit on your bullshit.
The Prius of the last 10 years has a 0-60 of 10.5 seconds, you're not smoking shit with that.
The 2025 will do a pedestrian 7secs, which is a little less grandma but still slower than many, let alone performance cars.
You're going way faster than everyone if you're just flooring it all the time. Most people don't, it's wasteful and it jerks you around more.
It’s about comparable vehicles and driving techniques. If you tried to drive a similar sized ICE like you drive the Prius then emissions of all sorts would be greater. It might be hard to as the acceleration of an EV is hard to match.
Why would you drive like this?
