Nonsense. [EVs burn through tires faster because they are heavy and have a lot of torque.](https://www.automotiveworld.com/articles/inside-the-not-so-hidden-issue-of-higher-tyre-usage-in-evs/)
ev.com is just EV marketing.

what *is* correct is the words "can be heavier": we really need to stop normalizing heavy vehicles, EVs would be great if they were all lighter and smaller than their ICE equivalents. And best part? That would also decrease the amount of electricity you need to move them, meaning more range or smaller batteries.
