  It’s like this is perfectly crafted to demonstrate a spurious correlation.

  I get what you’re saying but I’m not seeing this as “electric cars suck” but more as “we found another place where we can improve”

  This seems to me an issue that can be fixed with a few air filters which would require very infrequent replacements

    2.5 takes some fairly serious filters.

  I too love a heavy dose of whataboutism with my science.

  I think we all know petrol is worse by a huge margin. More knowledge about electric vehicles and their effects is just more good for engineers.
