may release more pollution than gas-powered vehicles, according to a report that has recently resurfaced.The study, which was published in 2022 but has begun circulating again after a WSJ op-ed, found that brakes and tires release 1,850 times more particulate matter - which is air pollution - compared to modern tailpipes which have filters that reduce emissions.It found that EVs are 30 percent heavier on average than gas-powered vehicles, which causes the brakes and tire treads to wear out faster than standard cars and releases tiny, often toxic particles into the atmosphere.
