Subject: Re: My score
Finally, for any arbitrary size of vehicle, the BEV version is going to be SIGNIFICANTLY heavier than the ICE version which also requires more strength in the sidewalls of the tires on the BEV, meaning more material has to go into each tire used for a BEV.

Oh, and since wear on tires produces a stream of finely ground particles made up of whatever the tire was made from, the higher wear on BEV tires produces more of that pollution than equivalent tires on non-BEV vehicles.


I'm still hoping - perhaps in vain - for an "air suspension wheel" to become practical and cost effective in everyday road vehicles. Their use - at least by the GACW company so far - is restricted to BAMTs (Big-A$$ Mining Trucks). See https://globalaircylinderwheel...

But even if the engineering is perfected to withstand high speed road use, these wheels/tires still rely on a nonmetal "tread" that would still be subject to wear.
