I'm worried about the pollution argument. Not in the climate change sense, that's clear. But in the "local air is cleaner".

I've discovered recently that tire wear actually creates about as many particles as exhaust fumes, at least for cars. Tire wear is directly affected by vehicle weight.

Won't electric trucks weigh a lot more than classic trucks?

Actually, I checked now, and Volvo trucks for example, weigh somewhere between 10 tons and 24 tons, but 24 tons for the long cabin, sleeper, a ton of extra features, etc.

So the starting point of the Tesla Semi, for example, is 27 tons according to the article. That puts it at double the average Volvo.

And the worst part for the wire tear (and I think road tear), apparently it scales to the POWER OF 4 (!!!).

Now, trucks also have cargo, so I guess electric trucks will carry less cargo and then we're back at the same values?
