    Although they have a 10 to 20% weight penalty EVs usually have much more power available than their equivalent ICE counterparts. As an example a Model 3 RWD has a similar performance to a 6 litre V8 VF Commodore, if you use all that power expect to replace tyres fairly frequently. The slight weight penalty has much less to do with tyre wear than the nut behind the wheel.
