Does this work or is it a stupid idea

Im not screaming…just pointing out that EV tyres wear out quicker than ICE tyres. But you keep replying to me as we all now know your the type that always have to have the last word.

It is a fact and the tyre manufacturers confirm this:

Doh! I Never did like Continental! :)

The charging infrastructure or lack thereof is something to seriously consider especially as your annual non work related driving is 20k km. For peace of mind forget the EV and get yourself a decent Audi A4, Skoda Superb or similar in diesel - your car allowance should more than cover the cost of diesel and not having that dreaded range anxiety is priceless. Last January's storm brought into focus how fragile the whole 'all electric' world is. With power cuts that lasted weeks thousands of all electric homes with air to water and similar heating systems without a chimney, no gas cooker etc. etc. were in serious difficulties and many with EV,s were left stranded. But as evident from this forum and others, EV drivers are the Taliban of the motoring world and woe betide anyone who dares to discuss the pros and cons of EV's …even minor issues like tyre wear😂………………………one wonders why!

Changed tyres with 3mm remaining at 45,477kms just before Christmas - much better mileage from a set of tyres on my heavy EV vs my slightly less heavy diesel SUV. They were probably good for 55k kms but I went early due to the wet season kicking in. So it is definitely not a "fact" that tyres on an EV wear out faster.

There are brands of EV-specific tyres that come from the factory with less tread than a regular tyre. I have seen Eco tyres from some manufacturers launch with 6mm vs the standard 8mm, which would definitely lead one to believe that EV tyres wear out faster. And they are stupidly expensive as well - for literally nothing.

But ChatGPT for an answer to anything in the modern world…..well jaysus, have you been sucked in 😅

But that not the statement people are disputing. The statement was "tyres! EV’s wear out tyres a lot quicker than ICE cars. Bear that in mind."

However in order for your statement to be true you would have to add in an "all other things being equal".

They also miss out on potentially thousands of pounds worth of routine maintenance work which a more local customer would provide them with

It's possible the vehicle was imported from the UK originally

I think if a vehicle is registered in the UK and then exported to NI it'll be charged import tax and VAT of it's then brought into the Republic

Whereas if a vehicle is originally registered in NI then the VAT can be claimed back or something. It's all somewhat complicated so I think many dealerships just stay away from the extra paperwork

Basically Brexit wasn't a good idea...
