We often hear that electric vehicles are much better for the environment, but it that really the case?
From New York Post. Electric vehicles release more toxic particles into the atmosphere and are worse for the environment than their gas-powered counterparts, according to a resurfaced study.
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
The study, published by emissions data firm Emission Analytics, was released in 2022 …
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.
Today, most vehicle-related pollution comes from tire wear.
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. …
The study throws doubt on the practicality of the Biden administration’s EV mandates, which tout electric cars as “zero-emissions vehicles” in a quest to force two-thirds of new cars in America to be all-electric by the year 2032. …
Electric cars still use tires made from petroleum that create particle pollution as they wear.
Still, “this will not be something that stops electrification,” Nick Molden, the founder and CEO of Emissions Analytics, told The Post.
“You have a tradeoff. At the moment, the political agenda is very strong towards climate change reduction. EVs do deliver about a 50% reduction in CO2 — that [affects] climate change.”
“But you have this downside of EVs that increases particle pollution. Air pollution is about what we breathe and the health effects,” Molden said, assuring that the toxins in tires have much less impact on climate change than they do on “what we eat and are ingesting.”

It is a point to consider. Is electric the best way. I do not understand why an American citizen cannot choose what vehicle to drive since they are equal with possible damage to the environment. God please give us the wisdom to choose what is best for the country. Many people will not be able to afford electric vehicle. People do need cars for just getting to their jobs, school, not to mention any emergency issues. I see it as putting a financial hardship on many. Something we never consider.
We must also consider the large environmental impact of 1. The manufacture & 2. Disposal & 3. Recycling the batteries. The materials in the EV batteries are among the most toxic components on earth.
In addition we must consider the environmental impact involved in generating the electricity needed to charge the batteries.
We discovered ev’s battery doesn’t like cold weather and won’t always cha r ge so it’s relative huh?
We are being fed lies about electric vehicles. They are being pushed as “The Answer”, but there is another side to these vehicles which is being ignored. One of them is shown in the article above. Thank you for posting it. May God grant us open eyes to see and cleared ears to hear the truth.
I don’t understand how the toxic emissions from the tires can have a harmful impact on “what we eat and ingest”. Can someone help me out here?
