The immediate thought that came to mind was semi trucks. Their batteries add 2,000+ pounds before a load is added.

That makes sense, greater weight, less tread ware.

It's interesting to hear about the tire wear concerns with electric vehicles (EVs). While EVs do save on gas, it's important to consider all aspects of their maintenance, including tire replacement. EVs tend to be heavier due to the weight of the battery, which can lead to increased tire wear compared to traditional vehicles.
Regular tire maintenance and choosing the right tires can help mitigate this issue. Proper tire inflation and rotation can help extend the life of your tires. Additionally, finding a reliable auto repair shop that specializes in hybrid and electric vehicles, like https://ifixhybrid.com/ , can ensure that your EV is properly maintained and serviced.

A tradeoff that many most likely never thought about.
