But don’t they cause higher pm2.5 and pm10 pollution from braking due to the fact that EVs are heavier than vehicles powered by internal combustion ?

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?

1 pedal braking means evs often dont need new brake pads for 150K miles

One problem they are experiencing is rust and glazing on the pads from disuse.

They are heavier than the equivalent sized ICE so have more tire wear, but dont have to be that large in an absolute sense. Most are large luxury cars.

You’re right but one pedal drive is the wrong term. Regen braking is what you’re thinking of.

One pedal drive can still use the brake pads, regen braking is what saves brake usage regardless of one pedal drive being on or not.

I'm no EV expert, but I almost never use my EV's brakes — it mostly brakes using regenerative braking.

How much does braking cost ?

$0.00000008 per Newton of deceleration force applied to the vehicle.

Pressing the brake pedal and maintaining a stationary position is billed at a rate of $0.003 per second of immobility.

Energy dissipation during the braking event costs an additional $0.00001 per Joule of heat generated.

Depends on your social credit score.

The American social credit score is just called credit score.

Everything is a platform for ads these days.

This says a lot about our world, doesn’t it?

I think it’s going to happen in 10 years, not in 15.

You need Tuta or Proton or Hey for that.

Fastmail is also nice imho.

(no affiliation, just a happy family plan customer paid far into the future)

the only minuses of these services, is that because they are not trusted, they are rejected by some websites, and they are flagged as spam :/

For example fastmail.com is considered as a fake account registration provider, because of the masked email feature, that allows you many times to register to a free trial.

It's the only reason I stay with Gmail, despite their terrible practices

My strong advice would be to buy your own domain, otherwise you're letting a third party own a lot of your digital life.

Strongly agree with this, I own my own domain for mail and service routing (with services hanging off of subdomains).

I have been using Mailfence and Zoho (paid plans as well as free plans) for almost a decade. Never had any issues. Support is actually reachable and good. (no affiliation). IMAP works only on paid plans

I’m moving to Proton as we speak :-)

Couldn’t agree more.

Another positive side effect of the shutdown…

> pricing ranged from $149.95 to $229.95

OMG

Cheaper than a fashionable clutch. I assume that's what they're positioning as.

Can we buy more than one?

I want every color and size!

Yahoo! Mail is still working

That’s true. I mean it does get hacked every week, but it does still function.

Then 1.5 B is a steal!
