    Not that I love ICE cars or anything but isn’t the big health impact from heavy vehicles like delivery trucks and, more importantly, from the rubber particles caused by car tires? A problem that in general worsens with BEVs since they’re, on average, heavier? I’m sure smell will improve significantly, but breathing tire and road dust is the main health concern as I’ve understood it. Most other pollutants get rather effectively caught in the catalytic converter, aside from CO2 but that isn’t unhealthy per se. CO in small doses out doors also isn’t a big issue. NOx bad for nature but likely of low harm to humans. Etc. Someone please correct me if I’m misinformed.
