But until they do, the number of casualties in crashes is likely to increase as heavy electric vehicles join lighter existing fleets. Heavier vehicles also generate more particulate pollution from tyre wear. Ultimately, to manage climate change, the world needs to stop emitting greenhouse gases from vehicles and power plants.
