That's the fly in the ointment, they're not. The increased mass and torque actually produces more tire dust than a ICE car.

I wonder how much more. And if the increase is offset by the reduced exhaust, brake dust, oil leaks, and pollution from oil and gas production and distribution.

Probably proportional to the weight difference. It's more, but either way it's an apples-to-oranges comparison.

i feel like only if they make lighter EV's along the line of an i3. A 7-8k lb cybertruck or rivian probably eats brakes like no tomorrow

I rarely use the brakes on my 6600lb CT because I'm usually using regenerative braking. I assume it's similar for the 7100lb Rivian. Now, if you're constantly launching at traffic lights, that's going to be some extra tire dust compared to slower ICEs.

Or even just HEV and PHEVs with slightly larger battery packs.

You don't even need a huge battery pack for dynamic braking. It's the architecture of hybrid cars that allows them to regeneratively brake, even if the battery is full, by using the engine as a pump. Although this doesn't arise in practice, hybrids could dynamically brake down a grade of any length, which BEVs can't guarantee.

It’s not about battery pack. It’s about size of the electrical motor.
