In "ICE cars" the biggest sources of particulate matter are the tires and brakes¹, don't electric car have those too ?

Tires yes, but since EVs use regenerative braking at least some of the time I would think they'd be slightly better in that regard. Regenerative braking does not engage the brake pads.

Good point! I was mistaken.

Though I think larger point stands that its very hard to know risks of different particulate sources (like brakes).
