A study by Emissions Analytics from 2022 found that brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes, which have “efficient” exhaust filters, bringing gas-powered vehicles’ emissions to new lows. #electricvehicles #ev #emissions #electrictrucks #electriccars #tires

After seeing studies saying that diesel cars polluted less (false and debunked), or talking about pollution by batteries (we can reuse them for stationary storage, and afterwards recycle almost all critical elements in them), of about fire risks (combustion cars actually burn more often), now the disinformation machine goas after tyres emissions with "research" by an obscure emissions think thank. They use dubious arguments about emissions from brakes and tyres, none of them backed by actual scientific research, to argue that "tyre emissions are worse than tailpipe emission", hence EVs pollute more than conventional cars. Despite this weak argument, their "results" are aired by the WSJ, The Guardian, and other newspapers. This kind of propaganda works with many population groups because it triggers reactions like: "what if they are fooling us all?", "I am smarter and will not fall for it", "you see electric cars are not that green, I told you " etc. Yet as EVs quickly become more convenient than ICE (and that is already happening), people will realize they were fooled. Newspapers should know better and put things into perspective. We need to electrify as much as possible, and fast. https://lnkd.in/ekqRBj45

According to a study by Emission Analytics, electric vehicles (EVs) may emit 1,850 times more particulate matter from brakes and tires than modern gas-powered cars. The study claims that the disparity is due to EVs' heavier weight. https://lnkd.in/gMzYeJ3m

The auto industry has a conundrum: The narrative that EVs are better for the environment than gas-powered vehicles is being proven false. How will those who're going all-in on EVs respond? EXCERPT: Electric vehicles are more harmful to the environment than gas-powered vehicles, according to a study from Emission Analytics that gained visibility after being cited in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. The study found that EV brakes and tires release “1,850 times more particles of pollution” than their combustible counterparts. Lithium-ion batteries are the source of the excessive pollution. The batteries are heavy and cause tires and breaks to wear out faster. It is estimated that EVs produce about 20% more microplastic emissions than gas cars. Particle pollution has been linked to heart and lung disease and asthma. One California agency was quick to defend EVs and said manufacturers could offset the weight of EVs with lighter components. #evs #automotive #automotivenews #electricvehicles #environment https://lnkd.in/ghqmiPqN

What are your thoughts on this recent news about electric vehicles emitting more particle pollution than diesel/petrol cars? My first reaction was - Who has funded this study? Secondly, how do the (total) emissions vary across the vehicle lifespan? Comparison of EV versus fossil fuel based vehicular emissions Thirdly, if not EVs then what’s the solution? What do you think? #Electricvehicles #sustainabilty #automotive #EV #emissions #esg

UK based global research body Emissions Analytics has now revealed that EVs have a higher chance to release more carbon emissions than traditional gasoline powered vehicles.. #electricvehicles #electriccars #carbonemissions #carbonfootprint #environmentalsustainability #carbondioxide #businessnews #marketinsights Emissions Analytics

 Electric vehicles release more toxic emissions, are worse for the environment than gas-powered cars: study ◼ The study, published by emissions data firm Emission Analytics, was released in 2022 but has attracted a wave of attention after being cited in a Wall Street Journal . ◼ It found that brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes, which have “efficient” exhaust filters, bringing gas-powered vehicles’ emissions to new lows. ◼ As heavy cars drive on light-duty tires — most often made with synthetic rubber made from crude oil and other fillers and additives — they deteriorate and release harmful chemicals into the air, according to Emission Analytics. ◼ Because EVs are on average 30% heavier, brakes and tires on the battery-powered cars wear out faster than on standard cars. ◼ Emission Analytics found that tire wear emissions on half a metric tonne of battery weight in an EV are more than 400 times as great as direct exhaust particulate emissions. ◼ Increased exposure to these toxins “can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease, asthma, and low birth weight,” according to the New York Department of Health. ◼ A separate 2020 report said tires are likely to be a major concern in the coming years as consumers "turn to bigger and heavier cars." #energyticslimited #renerableenergy #energyefficiency #energyinnovation #electricvehicles #emissions #gaspowerecars

Some truths are hidden for business development without proper research on real carbon emissions because the investments made for R&D needs to be recovered while there are little advantages that are focussed for marketing USP hiding real facts… #evehicles #evcharging #evcharginginfrastructure #evbatteries #evadoption #electricars

EVs were heralded as heroes all along for their ability to reduce carbon footprints across the globe. This new study shrugs all the basics that were taught to us.. Should we really think that the Electric Vehicles are the future? #electricvehicles #future #carbonemissions
