I am aware that EVs pollute less. But parent comment claimed that pollution doesn't exist at all which is simply false.

Fair enough, it exists in some regard... let's change that to pollution caused by the powerplant of the vehicle.

I'm not wholly informed here, but just by using common sense, I can only imagine we're talking fractions of a percent for brake pad and tyre pollution, so I wouldn't pick that hill to die on personally.
