And weight, presumably heavy vehicles wear through more rubber, and batteries are heavy.

- brownbat 7y agoWeight. This is so much about vehicle weight. I think the heavier EVs hit a crossover point because of regenerative braking, but weight does set them back, that's one of the whole points of this study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S135223101630187X https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13522... This is a curve though. We could almost simplify the problem and only look at what heavy trucks generate and ignore all the cars completely, it'd be a non-crazy approximation.
