Electric cars are generally heavier due to their batteries. The batteries, essential for storing the energy needed to run the vehicle, add significant weight compared to traditional combustion cars.
Tire wear on electric cars can be faster if conventional tires are used. These are not designed to handle the high torque and additional weight typical of electric vehicles, leading to accelerated wear.
However, tires specifically made for electric vehicles use adapted materials that minimize early wear and preserve tire longevity.
Maintenance of an electric vehicle differs from that of a gasoline car. Key focus areas include the battery cooling system check, brake inspection and lubrication, and regular tire inspection. Electric vehicles require less maintenance than conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles, as they have fewer moving parts.
Popular sizes for EV tires vary depending on the type and model of the vehicle, but some sizes are particularly common due to their optimal performance and energy efficiency. Here are some popular sizes:
