Or the ultra fine particles that come from rubber tyres, brakes, tram wheels, human skin etc.  So electric vehicles will have some problems and Hybrid vehicles are no solution either.  

The thing about hybrid and electric vehicles is that they use regenerative braking for the most part, so the friction brakes don't get used nearly as much, reducing particulates from that source.

How many miles / km have EV drivers of the likes of a Leaf / Zoe been getting out of the set of Pads or Discs, is it amazing mileages being done between replacing sets?

 

Are they far better manufactured Discs than the crap some manufacturers fit where even low mileage vehicles or especially low mileage ones suffer cosmetic corrosion and you need to use the brakes just to have them clean, and the discs need replacing before pads.

eg VW Group type stuff, 'Advisory at services, Scoring or wear, replacement advised!
