Sawyer Merritt(@SawyerMerritt):Joe Rogan in new podcast episode: "I love the tech in EVs. I have a @Tesla. I love it. But there's also the reality of brake dust. There's way more brake dust with those things, and that's a big part of the particulate pollution that you get in large cities." Fact check: EVs do not have emit more brake dust. Why? Because you rarely need to use your brakes in the first place. Regen braking enables one-pedal driving. Brakes actually last longer on EVs because of that.
