    One elephant in the room is the fact that electric vehicles can wear out tyres up to 50% faster than their conventional counterparts, due to being heavier.

    There is a very long list of problems with cars that get worse with weight. Yet, people insist on driving land-blimps.

    It increases every single consumable in the car. Fuel, brakes, tyres, filters, oil, fluids, bearings, driveshafts, suspension… everything. It also puts additional wear on the roads they drive on, with an exponential relationship.

    It also makes them far more dangerous. Worse cornering and braking, and an exponentially greater impact force when they hit something.
