More BS being pushed by the far right and entrenched i.c.e. interests.

It's perfectly possible to be wary of this on a general anti-car basis, which is neither a far right nor a pro-ICE position.

They never seem to admit that the low rolling resistance ties that are standard on most, if not all EVs, produce less particulate pollution than normal tires on an ice vehicle.

Do you have any numbers I can see on this claim? I'm interested to see.

Eta: also I rarely see anyone talking about EVs and tire particulate pollution bring up brake particulate pollution.

I'd also be interested in the numbers on this factor.

To be clear - I think all ICE vehicles should be taken off the road, I just think that the general number of vehicles on the road should decline by a massive factor, to be replaced by superior alternatives in bicycles and trains.
