minus-squareHirom@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-21 month agoEVs have very little exhaust coming out of their tailpipe. Which is one of the reasons why those are better than fossil powered charriots. So tires being a larger source of pollution than exhaust, in relative terms, is especially true for EVs. You make a good point, regenerative braking is probably reducing pollution in absolute terms.
