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

InsideEVs

But there is another important source of emissions that they do much better for than combustion cars, and it’s hardly ever talked about: brake dust pollution. EVs have exactly the same friction braking system as gas cars, but because they rely on their motors for deceleration, they don’t need to put pad to disk as often to reduce speed.

New Tool for Determining Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Impacts of Hydrogen Infrastructure and Fuel Cell Vehicles

Green Car Congress

Although studies widely agree that widespread deployment of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and the associated infrastructure would reduce air pollutant emissions from the transportation sector, the extent to which air quality in an urban airshed will be affected by these reductions is a more complex matter than simply quantifying emissions.
