So like I said

Extremely heavy vehicles such as commercial trucks and buses cause the majority of the wear and tear on roads. Any additional damage caused by the shift to EVs will be so marginal as to be a non-issue – well, unless everyone replaces their Honda Civics with fully loaded 37,000-kilogram Tesla Semi trucks or gargantuan Hummer EVs.
