       Trend for bigger, heavier cars means more particles get released from breaks, tires and road surfaces: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/08/autobesity-on-course-to-worsen-air-pollution-caused-by-motoring This is in addition to using more energy (whether fossil fuel or electricity) and causing more damage in collisions. It is crucial to impose sufficient taxes on SUVs and other heavy cars to reduce their sales to a much smaller level. We should deter people from buying them unless they really need them.
