minus-squareMontagge@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 days agoJust because a Ford truck weighs a lot doesn’t mean we shouldn’t address EV tire wear. Do a lot of people own trucks that shouldn’t because they don’t use them as trucks? Yes. I’d argue that’s a completely different argument. This isn’t an EV only issue, but it is highlighted for EVs because they go through tires faster than equivalent sized (not weight) vehicles. In the end I would hope all vehicles would be equipped with tires that don’t kill aquatic life!
