    Well, I mean, they certainly still pollute because of tire and brake pads wear but this is just stuff we eat and breathe. It’s not greenhouse gases so it’s all good.

    /s just in case it’s needed.

      Tires yes, brake pads, not so much. Electric cars have regenerative braking, so unless you aggresively decelerate on a regular basis, you shouldn’t need to use friction brakes that much. Overall, an improvement over ICE vehicles.
