require energy to move

Yes, literally everything does. That's physics.

Tire wear is also responsible for pollutants in the air and in the water

Tires made from natural rubber exist. Less wearing tires are also a thing but those are less "sporty". Tire wear can be reduced by driving more smoothly which is something governments can mandate to tweak driving aids accordingly (basically no hard acceleration). Overall EVs are better for the environment than ICE cars.

We need more traditional means of transit and much much more active transit plans, not more cars!

I already wrote "public transport could be much improved almost everywhere in the word", so don't preach to me about what I agree with.
