You still get some fine particle emissions from the wear of rubber tires and road surface, and the brake pads. But this might be a small fraction compared to what gas engines emit.

Those particles are much bigger than what the ICE produces, which makes them less dangerous.

This is where EVs also have an advantage because they scrub their brake pads much less.
