@Tristan_Young In fairness, Tristan how can you cover EVs and brake wear particulates without mentioning at all that EVs use regen braking and therefore have vastly reduced brake pad and disc wear compared to fossil fuel vehicles? Were you not aware of this technology?
@Tristan_Young You then go on to mention an unreferenced, un-named scientific study from Sept 2020 which puts tyre wear somewhere between 0.2-5.5kg per person/year. A range of variability of 2,700%!! Which is statistical shorthand for “I have no clue”! 🤷♀️ (cont)
@Tristan_Young You then reference the famed Emissions Analytics study that claimed EVs produce 5.8g of tyre particulates per km! Meaning that if you drive a mere 10,000 km an EV emits more rubber that the full weight of all 4 tyres combined!! A figure so preposterous that EA had to redo (cont)
@Tristan_Young their “tests” and “calculations” to get a new result of 64 micrograms per km. So this time a range of variability of over 90,000%!! So definitely making a complete mockery of any results obtained. Do you have any response to these points @Tristan_Young ?
And here’s Tristan Young’s response to the questions raised. Good to have an open and honest discussion of the facts in good faith. Happy for a dialogue with anyone else involved. Such as @yesautouk for instance? 
@YesAutoUK Some further context on Tristan’s article, referencing the work carried out by @DrLizaSelley on non-tailpipe emissions. Actually mentioned in Tristan’s article.
