One of the most noticeable benefits of electric vehicles is their relaxing, almost silent electric motors. Without the hundreds of moving parts and combustion required for gas engines to run, electric motors don’t produce the sound levels of their fossil fuel-burning counterparts, but that silence can uncover unexpected noises from other parts of the car.
The industry has progressed to the point that many modern cars leave the factory with wheels that dwarf even the largest aftermarket wheels from just a decade ago.
When you buy a new EV, you might notice that the tires look a little different than the set you had on your last gas vehicle. Automakers often opt for low rolling-resistance tires, and those that help maximize the range of electric vehicles, but even the greenest tires need care to last and perform at their best.

Electric vehicle range estimates have become less of an issue as more models offer driving distances comparable to gas vehicles, but there are still plenty of factors that impact an EV’s efficiency.
