Not sure about that. If you accelerate a 2t vehicle to 60mph and then decelerate it back to 0mph then they would stress the tyres in the same way, no matter if you do EV & regen, EV no-regen or ICE, right? (I am keeping the weight constant).

Prompted by your comment I had a look at vehicle weights and two facts stood out

- ALL new cars are getting heavier EVERY YEAR because we keep adding more stuff (average car weight, and average SUV weight trend upwards from 2016 to 2023)

- The average electric car is heavier than a petrol equivalent but is lighter than an SUV

Weight certainly a problem, but the focus on EVs for weight is generally blown out of proportion.
