Скачать или смотреть Do EV’s wear out tires and roads?

I often get people telling me that EVs are impractical because they’re so heavy that they wear out tires, and even roads, much faster than gas cars. Hey, it’s true that EVs are heavier than equivalent gas cars, but… I think it’s worth noting that a Tesla Model Y SUV, the best selling car in the world, is 22% lighter than a Ford F-150 pickup truck, the best selling pickup in the world. Yet, I have never heard anyone complain about issues of tire or road wear when it comes to pickup trucks… even though, in 2021, one in every four vehicles purchased in Canada was a pickup truck.
