The study is about NOx levels which have nothing to do with tires or brakes.

Ok, but tire pollution is still a problem:

I mean, it kind of is. But I'd say the framing is about general air pollution, and they happen to use NOx levels as proxy indicator. So from that perspective, I think it is important to note that there are other types of pollution that go up with electric cars.
