PM2.5 pollution, mentioned in the article, comes from tyre and brake wear.

And you’re going to get a lot of that with 2 tonne EVs compared to lighter ICE cars.
You can fit particulate filters to the exhaust to capture the tiny particles there. Gonna struggle with the tyres. Make them harder and then braking distances increase and the car will struggle to turn(efficientcy will go up though) , chance the compound so they come apart in bigger chunks then the tyres won’t last as long and you’ll end up with loads of rubber in the drains.
