EVs Help Air Quality. And Not Just In The Obvious Way.
Briefly

Electric vehicles (EVs) are better than gas cars in terms of brake dust pollution, which is often overlooked. They utilize regenerative braking and one-pedal driving, leading to a reduction in brake wear emissions by up to 83%. This results in brake pads lasting longer, often up to 100,000 miles during regular use. Brake dust, rich in harmful copper, poses serious health risks. Limiting its emissions through EV technology can improve air quality significantly, especially in urban areas with high vehicle density.
Brake dust is high in copper and is even more harmful than diesel soot. Limiting brake dust emissions is crucial due to the serious health concerns it poses.
Regenerative braking and one-pedal driving in EVs lead to up to 83% reduction in brake wear emissions, allowing brake pads to last up to 100,000 miles.
