Yay! Thank you! Adding it to the archive. I keep my car in the level 3 regeneration, so mostly “coast” up to the stop. I’m glad to see such significant reduction. Also because I breath a lot of that dust when I’m cycling, less particulates = better.
Edit: Some key findings from the paper:
Key finding #3.8: As the level of
electrification of a vehicle rises, the
dependence on regenerative braking
also increases, thus lowering PM
emissions from brake wear. Based
on recent evidence [30], regenerative
braking can reduce, in the worst-
case scenario (i.e. highest usage of
mechanical brakes or equivalently lowest
usage of regenerative braking), brake
wear emissions by 10-48% for hybrid
electric vehicles (HEVs), 66% for plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and
83% for battery electric vehicles (BEVs)
Key finding #3.13: Vehicle weight
is directly proportional to tyre wear
emissions. For example, a car with
a 20% higher mass demonstrated a
20% increase in tyre wear [13]. Electric
cars are around 20% heavier than the
equivalent conventional cars, so they
emit around 20% more tyre wear [40],
[42], [43].
