Those are not the primary long term problems with those. Electric cars still require roads, tires, parking lots, etc. That's why they are 'better' due to no direct emissions and higher efficiency, but they can never be 'environmentally friendly' because they will always need expensive and harmful infrastructure.

Plus they tend to be heavier so they cause even more damage to road surfaces.

Even the heaviest electric car has nothing on a tractor trailer.

Most of the damage to road infrastructure comes from big rigs.
