A 2022 study on Electric cars is again making the rounds. It found that EVs release MORE toxic emissions than gas-powered vehicles and are worse for the environment.
The report indicates that EVs weigh 30 percent more than gas cars, causing tires to wear out faster
The tire tread releases toxic particles 400 times greater than exhaust emissions
The study, which was published in 2022 but has begun circulating again after being cited in a WSJ op-ed, found that brakes and tires release 1,850 times more particulate matter 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.
EV batteries weigh about 1,000 pounds and can result in tire emissions that are nearly 400 times more than tailpipe emissions. [You think we have potholes now]
Particle pollution can increase health problems, including heart disease, asthma, lung disease, and in extreme cases, can lead to hospitalization, cancer, and premature death

It comes as California is working to impose a complete ban on all gas vehicles by 2035. Biden’s EPA is demanding 67% of new cars be EVs by 2032, which is impossible.
It should also be noted that lithium mining is far worse than fracking. They’re also the least reliable of vehicles.
Without subsidies, the true cost of fueling an EV would equate to an EV owner paying, wait for it, $17.33 per gallon of gasoline.
Car companies are pulling back on EV production as they begin to realize all the government subsidies aren’t going to force people to buy them, and they aren’t.

OR the solution that is created in building Battery operated vehicles!
Pollution?
This doesn’t even take into account the pollution caused when they catch fire, and are nearly impossible to put out.
This is interesting.
The leftist globalists have central control and depopulation as a goal. Restricting our travel and stealing from us help achieve that goal.
Drill baby, drill!

If all we ever had were electric vehicles and someone invented a gas-powered car, we would think it was a revolutionary breaktrough that would save the world.
I don’t own an EV nor do I wish to. But this article is suspicious particularly the part about the brakes. Most EVs have regenerative braking and are largely driven using one pedal, the accelerator. Brake pads can last the life of the car because they’re barely used. Saying EVs burn through pads quicker than a gas car because they… Read more »
Even if that part about the brakes is not true ( although note that EV drivers can turn of regenerative braking and use conventional braking if they want ) , it does not change the fact that a heavier vehicle wears out its tires faster… and that tire dust ends up in the environment. One inaccurate thing does not make… Read more »
Not to mention the harmful effects of radiation during everyday operation and the toxic killing car fires.
As usual, governments, especially Democrat governments, that try to control the economy create create all kinds of problems, especially bio-hazards, as well as other hidden costs. One of the worst is excessive spending and debt, which depreciates the real value of what we own. Earlier today there was an article about the dangers posed by BRICS. Well it is the… Read more »
