How much will I save when I go EV?

Forgive me if this is another myth, but I've been told that as EVs are heavier, the lifespan of tyres is shorter than ICE cars & cost of replacements is more expensive. Is this true? One guy at work with a BYD says they offer replacement tyres every year if you do less than 40k km.

I'd love an EV, but do an almost 200km commute to Dublin every day, with occasional family trips to family c. 300km away.

Well heavier cars wear tyres faster than lighter cars

And powerful cars wear tyres faster than slow cars

EV’s are usually heavy and powerful so can wear out tyres faster. But there are reports of 60k, 70k, 80k being put on some EV’s without needing to change tyres

Tyres will wear a little more quickly because of extra weight and torque, but as has been said, it's not significant or noticeable.

Waiting for a decent EV estate car with decent space

Hate the high SUV shape of cars
