Wait until you learn about brakes.

Zero emission car? Ha! Depends on what you classify as an emission.

EVs are also a major improvement for the microdust emitted by breaks, as they mainly use the motor for breaking.

as they mainly use the motor for breaking.

For moderate braking at higher speeds sure, but not for your causal stoppages at intersections or heavier braking events.

Yea, obviously breaks aren't gone, but they have FAR lower usage. Even on casual stops it mainly uses the motor. Only for very heavy breaking they mainly are engaged. Like I said, it's a major improvement.zzz
