- At the charging stations, daily concentrations of dangerous air particles, known as PM2.5, ranged from 7.3 to 39.0 micrograms per cubic meter.
- Urban sites without fast-charging stations had concentrations of PM2.5 ranging from only 3.6 to 12.4 micrograms per cubic meter.
- The tiny particles likely come from particle resuspension around Direct Current Fast Charging power cabinets. Cooling fans designed to prevent the electronics from overheating can also stir up dust and particles from internal surfaces.
Look at the map this is just higher near larger population, Correlation vs. Causation. This smells like bull shit.

A research participant, Yifang Zhu, is tied to a thing called Mobility Justice Frameworks. It's pushing for greenspaces in urban areas, including making existing infrastructures look bad for its cause(s).
The research team has more A.I. tools than proper researching. It's odd.

Jesus they will release any study to try and smear electric. It's the same argument as cigs vs vapes. Yes they're both bad and not the best solution, but one is obviously better than the other. Plus how are they separating contamination of the charging stations from any other area where normal ass cars operate. There's just as much of a chance if not more that those particles are from the gas vehicles driving around, and not something specific to the chargers.

They're not separating data throughly. Researcher Yifang Zhu, over many publishings, mainly gathers and publishes raw findings. Such as... (summarizing) "Children are at risk due to immature respiratory systems and faster breathing rates... by traveling in diesel powered school buses in my South Texas study."

Do you not see the summary text in your front end, or did you just not read it? This is what it looks like on the default web front end on my instance:

This is the craziest reaction to knowledge
Knowing something new we didn't before means..... We know more now.
Stop trying to politicize this.
This just means there is room to improve, this is a good thing.

Now do PM and VOC levels at petrol stations.
Then PM and VoC levels on roads entirely occupied by combustion vehicles, and entirely occupied by electric vehicles.
I too love a heavy dose of whataboutism with my science.
I think we all know petrol is worse by a huge margin. More knowledge about electric vehicles and their effects is just more good for engineers.
It means there is more room to improve and make things better.

Were those other urban areas specifically parking lots/garages? (The places that charging stations tend to be)

I also saw where they used a graphic of the entire US when the study only encompasses 1 county in California.

I get what you're saying but I'm not seeing this as "electric cars suck" but more as "we found another place where we can improve"
This seems to me an issue that can be fixed with a few air filters which would require very infrequent replacements
2.5 takes some fairly serious filters.

Wtf kind of article is this? This would be a great example of sampling bias.

It's a thing called data bestie

i don't know if i would take this study as "knowledge". that map of the us? it's just a map of chargers, not of data from the study. reading the study, they were only measuring in one county. there's no categorisation of the type of fast charger they measured, just "a variety". the error bars overlap enough that this could all be errors. and why only measure at fast chargers and gas stations? why not at other high-power electrical systems like transformer yards in urban areas? they alno have fans, surely.
question is, why publish it if it is so obviously (and willfully) wrong?
