Original Note:
EVs use regenerative braking aka the motor is used as a generator to slow the car for most of the braking and not the friction brakes. Friction brakes create the particulates. The tyre use is also greatly exaggerated, many EVs are equivalent mass to fossil counterparts https://www.autoevolution.com/news/myth-busted-electric-vehicles-particulate-pollution-higher-than-ice-vehicles-184487.html#:~:text=Claims%20that%20EV%20tires%20and%20brakes%20produce,greatly%20exaggerated%2C%20according%20to%20a%20RAC%20report
