Because you have an electric motor, you can modulate traction much much more rapidly and precisely than a mechanical engine. This allows you to be able to take the tires to the very very edge of grip and stay there. When they’re in that state you’re essentially putting the maximum possible shearing force on the rubber, so they wear out much faster. Also, despite being low rolling resistance, many EV tires also offer phenomenal grip. There’s also some performance EVs that come stock with quite grippy tires. Michelin Sport cup 4S tires are stock on some of the “hot” Teslas, for instance.
