I agree with you, but consider — for an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle, wear and tear on the tires probably contributes more to local environmental degradation than the fossil fuels used. EVs have no answer to that, nor will they — tires are by nature ablative.
IOW we need to factor externalities into EVs as well, just like IC cars.
