I live next to a boulevard, 5th floor. The amount of black stuff that gets onto my balcony every day is absolutely insane. And to think that we are breathing that! I would fully embrace a full conversion for electric vehicle for that alone, this isn't just CO2, this is our air quality in cities.
My VW ID.4 has two different breaking modes, one doesn’t use regenerative at all and the other is not nearly as aggressive as Teslas. Probably overall it’ll be less, but I expect variation depending on the manufacturer and consumer preference.
They are even louder than fuel burning cars over 50kph due to the extra weight. I would still rather hear loud tire noise than breathe exhaust as a pedestrian though
Obviously this applies to the ~average~ car. A hellcat or sports bike tearing down the highway will be louder but the consistent drone of tire noise increases slightly for electric cars.
