Research Findings: EVs Also Have Harmful Pollution For This Reason

In the United States, specifically California and Washington, laws have been passed to reduce the copper content in brake pads. However, this rule was enacted with the aim of combating runoff and protecting aquatic life, rather than protecting human lungs.

The Euro 7 emission regulations, which will take effect in 2026, will also begin to limit brake dust emissions, although this may only affect new cars. Meanwhile, older cars will continue to use old version parts or pads, i.e., non-asbestos with copper content.

Finally, around the world, there are few regulations governing non-exhaust emissions, including those from tire use. Similar to brake use, electric cars, which are on average heavier, produce more pollution from tire friction than fossil-fueled vehicles, or ICEs.
