    That’s a list of a bunch of trucks compared to a midsized SUV, so you’re kind of proving yourself wrong. Cars are split into weight classes, so a comparison that doesn’t acknowledge that isn’t very useful. A EV Sedan is on average much heavier than an ICE sedan.

    No one’s saying ICE vehicles are better for the environment than EVs

      Those are the most sold vehicles in the US, when you have heavy EV’s in the top slots you can say that heavy ev’s are a problem… until then it’s what you are buying is causing the problem.

        Just because something isn’t the biggest problem doesn’t mean it’s not a problem worth talking about.

          I agree entirely, but the title of this post suggests that EVs are the problem, but actually it’s heavy vehicles.

          Additionally when we say “problem”, particulate pollution from vehicles is 99.9% a diesel problem, and 0.1% a tire problem. (Not actual statistics but let me know how wrong I am with the actual stat)
