    That said, as the tires of electric vehicles tend to wear faster due to their heavier weight…

    This gets repeated again and again, but hasn’t been my personal experience. I’d say my tyres are easily lasting twice as long than my previous diesel car.

      Mine are probably lasting about as long as previous non-EV cars, but I’m also terrible about getting them rotated when it’s not combined with an oil change.

      I’m sure it’s true for the 9k+ lb. Hummer EV and Silverados but my sedan is as light or lighter than ICE vehicles in it’s class.
