Tire wear pollution is 1,850 times worse than exhaust, especially for heavy EVs
By Isaac Lamoureux Tire wear emissions emit 1,850 times more pollution into the environment than exhaust pollutants, according to new research. This is particularly concerning for electric vehicles, as tire wear emissions increase for heavier vehicles, and EVs weigh more than their gas counterparts due to their batteries. Emissions Analytics initially published research in 2020 claiming that tire particulate wear emissions were 1,000 times worse than exhaust emissions. Generating more feedback than any subject ever tackled by the organization, it decided to do a deeper dive. Researchers began testing and analyzing tire wear emissions in more detail across a...
