Yep, tire pollution is even worse with EVs due to their weight. But overall it's still much better as you said.

It would help if cars went back to a reasonable size and not the absurdly large monstrosities that dominate the market today.

It's even hard to find an EV sedan. There are like 3 models under $70k. Everyone wants to make SUVs instead.

That's the real kicker. Gets especially hard if you don't want a Tesla.

Many of the conservatives who cite heaviness of EVs as a problem didn't say shit as ICE cars got heavier and they bought F150s to go to Walmart.
