Meanwhile, other studies say they wear tires out way faster because they're heavier, and rubber tire dust adds quite a bit to the emissions as well.
Entirely dependent on the model. A base model RWD EV sedan (Model 3, Ioniq 6) weighs less than 2 tons.
If you have a moronmobile like a Hummer, sure.
The lightest model 3 weighs about 3900lbs. Which is going to be like 1000lbs on any similarly sized ICE car
Would you consider a BMW 3 Series a similar sized ICE car?
According to BMW they range from 3536-4008 lbs.
Sorry I figured 900 lbs was pretty close to "like 1000 lbs"
3900-3500 = 400?
What?
My Ford Focus weighed 3000 lbs and was half the size of a Model 3.
You're full of shit, my dude.
