More BS being pushed by the far right and entrenched i.c.e. interests. 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.
Eta: also I rarely see anyone talking about EVs and tire particulate pollution bring up brake particulate pollution. Almost like they know EVs with Regen braking would stomp any ice competitor.

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.

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

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.
I’m not entirely sure the consideration of tires as a pollutant is necessarily a right wing argument. It may be coming from the angle of public transit and distaste for cars.
