Another reason EVs are NOT the way forward. They're heavier than ICE cars and so they go through tires significantly faster. I wonder if anyone has done the math on how much of our world is filled with microplastics from car tire treadwear. I imagine it's astonishing.

Adding: It's also not surprising to me if car tires are made of plastic these days. The level of engineering it takes to make a tire sticky enough to bring a modern 5,000 pound SUV to a full stop like the 3,500 pound sedans of yore has to be insane.

its weoght would be dependant on how much of a battery capacity they have as its chunk of weight is just pure battery weight alone. An average model Y weighs in about the same as a large SUV. so if this statement was made in particular to the U.S, it wouldnt change much given how popular SUVs are. if you take away the EVs, the vast majority is just moving back to SUVs, which is ultimately the same problem.

EVs will lose weight eventually when there are faster and more chargers, and the necessity of having large battery capacities decrease.

Idk, but the largest Cybertruck weighs 12 lbs less than an F-150.
