The Awkward Truth ELECTRIC VEHICLE Owners Don’t Want To Talk About

- Electric Vehicles shred conventional tires at an alarming rate, which in turn creates tire emissions that are harming wildlife and polluting our soil and waterways. Nick Molden, Founder & CEO of EMISSIONS ANALYTICS sheds light on the problem, and offers solutions that every EV owner can implement immediately in order to improve the tire emissions problem.

This is so crazy. Loved this interview. We love to think that we've figured out personal transportation, yet we're still so far from anything 'carbon neutral'.
See Nick can't even do a quick google search on "cyber truck weight" = 6800 lbs.
Many think EVs are low emission, small carbon footprint, & non-polluting. Which is simply not true!
Great information. Back to electric street cars and trains that runs on metal rails with people actually walks on the street to catch the street car & train... who would thought that was the solution right from the beginning!!!

8:40 -You are incorrect - when you line up LIKE FOR LIKE vehicles popular EVs are no heavier than Petrol or Diesel cars for example:
Match-up 1: Tesla Model 3 RWD - 4720 x 1933 x 1441, tare mass 1761kg. v Mercedes Benz C300 4755 x 1820 x 1450 tare mass 1744kg
Match-up 2: Tesla Model Y Long Range : 4750 x 1978 x 1624 , tare mass 1979 kg v Audi Q5 40 TDI 4682 x 1893 x 1663 tare mass 2045kg
Matchup 3: Kia EV9 Air 5010 x 1980 x 1755 tare mass 2312 kg v Toyota Landcruiser 300 series GXL 4980 x 1980 x 1950 tare mass 2495kg
The AVERAGE weight of ALL new cars sold in the USA in 2022 was 4329 lbs / 1967kg the AVERAGE weight of new EVs sold in the USA in 2022 was 4268 lbs / 1940kg.
You're not wrong on the weight analysis but weight is only one of the contributors, it's the micro slip of tires that are imperceptible to EV drivers during acceleration. Multiply this by the hundred of start and stops each day due to 0 RPM max torque, unlike an ICE vehicle and there's your wear factor.
Lets factor in that the new car US market includes lots of pickup trucs and bigger suvs/cars but EVs being sold are usually a smaller form factor
@@packetattack7437 I have 15k miles on my original tyres on my model 3 I can already tell they will last far longer than the tires on the Audi A4 it replaced provided you are not flooring the car they will wear like normal tyres.
@@gatorstupor the claim was "like for like" an EV is 800 lbs heavier. That's clearly not true. I have provided examples of larger EVs that are lighter than their smaller EV counterparts.

Agree that tire emissions from heavy EVs are a major problem.
However your guest is exaggerating to make his case. Most configurations of the Cybertruck are under 7,000 lbs not the 9,000 lbs that he claims.

The problem with Nick Molden and his statements about tire wear and EVs is that he doesn't know what he is talking about:
- When comparing apples to apples EVs are not the 1000 pounds heavier, quite some EVs are not heavier at all (it is worth mentioning that not all of them are Cybertrucks or Rivians)
- EV have dedicated tires that are designed to have similar life/wear (so the quoted 25% is wrong)
- EV have almost no brake pad wear, the particulate matter from brake pad wear is considered to be worse than particulate matter from tires
- EVs are not allowed to switch to non EV tires, so putting on inappropriate cheap tires is illegal (because of safety)
- quite some EV drivers have testified doing more distance than with their fuel powered cars they had before
- quite some EV drivers don't use the available torque because they also care about range
The 1000 times that tail pipes are cleaner is actually a lie (see below) and only a part of the whole picture as Nick Molden just looks at mass while a lot of tire particulates are large (and heavy) while exhaust particulates even with particulate filters are small and numerous. Due to their small size they can penetrate deeply in the longs that is why particulate number has become an equally important if not more important metric. Not to mention that one out of 8 cars has a defective particulate filter and pollutes a lot more.
By the way, in the context of tire wear Emission Analytics has published a study telling tire emissions are 1000 times from a totally unrepresentative test as representative (www.emissionsanalytics.com/news/pollution-tyre-wear-worse-exhaust-emissions). The study claims "Using a popular family hatchback running on brand new, correctly inflated tyres, we found that the car emitted 5.8 grams per kilometer of particles". Or 1.45 grams per km per tire or 87 kg over a lifespan of 60000 km.
So you now understand why EV proponents get upset whenever Nick says or post something.
My ev doesn't use tires any faster than my old gas car, they go though tires faster because owners don't rotate the tires at oil change,,the naysayers also say breaks wear which is bs we don't use the break hardly ever
