Let’s not forget brake dust which is a lot worse than microplastics, EVs create a ton of that.

I bet all things considered, ICE Toyota Yaris is less bad for the environment than some Tesla.

Don't EV brake less because of regenerative braking?

Nope, most Tesla drivers very rarely use their disc brakes, it’s almost all regen.
