    Those are the most sold vehicles in the US, when you have heavy EV’s in the top slots you can say that heavy ev’s are a problem… until then it’s what you are buying is causing the problem.

      Just because something isn’t the biggest problem doesn’t mean it’s not a problem worth talking about.

        I agree entirely, but the title of this post suggests that EVs are the problem, but actually it’s heavy vehicles.

        Additionally when we say “problem”, particulate pollution from vehicles is 99.9% a diesel problem, and 0.1% a tire problem. (Not actual statistics but let me know how wrong I am with the actual stat)
