Cite needed. Also types of pollution matter. Do brakes & tires contribute to climate change or to the PM2.5?

Yes we need to move towards more sustainable transport (mass transit) and reduce the overall load but EVs don’t hamper this movement.

Agreed, it's a complex topic. Just pointing out that EVs alone won't solve air pollution from transport.
