So the tire abrasion originates from EVs or rather from cars with a combustion engine?

Tires are tires, I don't think it's possible to distinguish between EV tires, truck tires, and regular cars' tires.

(And right now 1 million out of Germany's 48 million cars are EVs, so that's a tiny fraction).

But it is true that EVs are heavier than combustion cars of comparable size, and therefore contribute more microplastic per km.

I am sorry, this was a sarcastic comment only highlighting that EVs are not really part of the solution. But instead we need mobility centered around walking, cycling and public transit.

I hear you!
Here in the US it's all about EVs EVs EVs.

But I'm starting to call my ebike an EV.
I love watching the reactions.
(I'm an enfant terrible that way).
