Our ruling trash now has an angle on banning EV use: tires are the new big polluter (started reading that yesterday), and:
“electric vehicles actually make the problem, such as it is, even worse. According to the report, ‘EVs tend to shed around 20 percent more from their tires due to their higher weight and high torque compared to traditional internal combustion engine-powered vehicles.’”
Needless to say the screaming sources the author is reading are completely silent on dosing.
And tire makers are already being forced to change them with I suspect very short deadlines, at least in California by 2024, and maybe more comprehensively in the EU starting the next year.
