Car tires account for a third of microplastics emissions in Germany. Cars are a major source of pollution, especially compared with alternatives like Bikes or Public transport.

And that is purely talking about operational emissions. The production and disposal of EVs is another huge source of pollution and GHG emissions.

Thanks for telling me again. Very helpful but besides the point.

So your point is to ignore the total environmental impact of a product and just cherrypick the one category in which it is better?
