Electric cars produce far less brake dust pollution than combustion-engine cars

I feel like I remember a pickup being available that was a 6L v8. So one cylinder in that engine had almost the same volume as all the cylinders in a 1.5L engine combined. That's pretty crazy to me.

edit: oh it was mine heh, my first car was a 1979 ford with a 460 ( 7.5L v8 ). It was a hand me down from my grandfather, he said if i could get it running i could have it.

A 6 liter 4-cylinder would have the same volume in a single cylinder as a 1.5L engine. A V8 of that size would have half the volume in a single cylinder, not almost the same volume.
