Particulate emissions suck (especially like 6PPD for fish) but they are ultimately local pollutants, not global the way CO2 is. There are multiple variables to optimize for, and right now, EVs are better than gas vehicles.
The BETTER solution is obviously to get people out of personal vehicles as much as possible, and probably not enough, but there are bigger fish to fry. We have to do the most consequential things with the least cost, ASAP.
