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.
