Maybe if they used their brakes all the time, but they don't. (Regen braking uses no brakes). That's why EVs, while heaver, require fewer brake pad replacements than ICE cars.

Interesting.
But what about the use and abuse and shredding of tyres?
Yes, EVs generate more tire and road dust. My car needed new tires after ~32,000 miles.. (52,000 km) which I think is about half the life of an ICE car?
