TL;DR Summary

The myth that electric vehicles (EVs) wear out tires faster than traditional vehicles is debunked by a personal experience with a Bolt EUV, which showed that the rear tires remained pristine after 12,000 miles while the front tires had lost about half of their tread due to the driver's lead foot.
