But heavier so worse on the tires.

It isn’t intuitive that they’d be better off, and they might be worse on this particular dimension.

Yes current EVs are heavy. It's not at all clear that this will prevail as solid state batteries evolve to become standard. It is highly possible that EVs will soon be lighter than comparable ICE vehicles [1]
