This is worse with electric vehicles unfortunately 😔

Oh! How so?

I thought the fact they decelerate very gently would help with this. Is it because there is less “prudent driving” among EV owners?

As a mechanic, we see EV go through tires about twice as fast as ICE vehicles. Caused by a significant weight increase and higher torque output from a stand still. What you save in gas you will spend on tires.

Electric vehicles are more heavy in general because of the batteries. We need to make them lighter eventually.
