First:
A Ford Explorer has 3rd row seating, 5,600 lbs. towing capacity and much more volume vs. the Ford Mustang Mach E (1,500 lbs. towing). The comparison of weight is not valid to me. Doing a Ford Explorer EV to the ICE is my comparison on weight differentials.
Second:
The point that I made is the torque difference between an EV and ICE relating to tire degradation and the need for a different tire.
"Because of this immediate torque, the tires have to be able to absorb all that torque and harness all that power to accelerate as quickly as the driver intends. This requires tires that can handle the added stresses."
Third:
Tires designed for weight from an ICE vehicle are different than the EV equivalent. The CG and COP are completely different which translates to the traction motors and tires.
"For starters, EVs are heavier because of the added weight of the massive batteries they have on board. This means they need tires that can support the extra weight, and that’s why many EV-specific tires come with an Extra Load (XL) rating. This means they’re designed to carry the extra mass without overheating.
Recently, tire companies have started adding the HL (Heavy Load) designation to some of their tires, and in a recent technical bulletin, Yokohama Tire explained why there’s a need for both XL and HL tires: “The
Ford F-150 Lightning (EV) weighs in at around 1,600 lb more than the same size internal combustion (ICE) F-150. A Tesla Model S EV weighs over 1,300 lb more than a similarly sized Toyota Camry (ICE) (4,900 lb vs. 3,600 lb). This trend holds true across the board for EVs.”
