    Take-away 1: Electric cars emit 20% more micro-plastics from tires than do ICE vehicles.

    Take-away 2: Electric cars are not the solution to climate change. Whether it’s a 2000lb ICE vehicle, or a 4000lb EV vehicle, it takes a lot of energy which has to come for somewhere, and a lot of material that will have to be mined, and then eventually disposed.
