Electric Vehicles Account for More than One in 20 Car Miles Driven in UK – Study
LONDON, MILAN, AND BARCELONA, JUL 17 – Battery-electric vehicles reduce brake dust pollution by 83% through regenerative braking, supporting cleaner air and health benefits in major European cities, the study found.
- According to Electrek, EIT Urban Mobility's new analysis found that BEVs reduce brake dust pollution by 83% in London, Milan, and Barcelona.
- Because EVs harvest energy when slowing, Electrek explained, EVs use regenerative braking to slow without rubbing friction brakes, reducing brake dust pollution.
- Additionally, the study found that EVs reduce brake dust pollution by 83%, supporting both public health and climate goals.
- To support cleaner air, the Government reinstated grants, boosting EV adoption and reducing pollution.
- Projection indicates the Foundation estimates 37% of zero-emission mileage by 2030 is needed for carbon targets.
