Mexico City needs this badly. It would be beautiful if it wasn't for the smog and noise of traffic.

I'm sure it's coming. I'm in Mexico this week and was surprised to drive by not one but two chinese car dealerships. Looks like almost 10% of cars sold last year were EVs

Inversion layer there will still trap ev particulate unfortunately

  • ev particulate is identical if not less than fossil fuel.

    same tires (actually a little harder due to being LRR tires) same brakes (that get used significantly less thanks to regenerative braking)

  • What is EV particulate? Like brake or tire dust?

    • yes. it's an argument that since EVs are heavier than fossil-fuel vehicles due to their batteries, that they generate more particulate emissions (brakes/tire dust) than fossil-fuel vehicles.

      it's a wrong argument, but it's still circulated in groups of factually-challenged people
