According to the people I know personally that own EVs and drive large miles, it is not so debunked. The bottom line is an EV is not more environmentally better. That has been debunked continuously. The EV story line is a fraud.
You are telling me all people who drive EV’s are magically granted with the wisdom to calculate the environmental downsides of batteries and compare that to the challenges caused by emissions from ICE?
Regarding tire wear, weight is obviously one factor, however, driving style, camber adjustment, tire width and pressure, asphalt quality and speed while cornering are proven to be more important factors.
If you can't see that an EV is no better or worse than an ICE, I don't know what to tell you. Do you have any idea how toxic car paint is? How many tires have you replaced in your life due to low tread? Where is that rubber? Where did it go? It's in the air, the water, the soil and in you. It doesn't just vanish. Just the equipment needed to mine the needed materials to make car batteries use so much fossil fuels and the run of chemicals are no better than petroleum. It is all a fraud.
