Super interesting info from Himanshu Bhatt about tire usage in EVs. I had no idea that tires wear out faster on EVs as compared to traditional ICE vehicles. Learn something new everyday. #commodities #metals #energytransition #markets #recycling #investing

The 12 volt automotive battery is a crucial component in your vehicle, providing the necessary power to start the engine and keep it running. However, many drivers underestimate the potential of this seemingly simple battery. With the right maintenance and understanding of its capabilities, your 12-volt automotive battery can unlock a world of possibilities for your car, lorry, or tractor. https://lnkd.in/dP3V7HbK

The Silverado EV is a truly impressive rig, one that should convince hardcore Silverado buyers that it can, in fact, replace their V8-powered truck. But it also has flaws, one of which is its rear-mounted charge port. Give me the choice between this, a Cybertruck or a Ford Lightning for a long range haul, and I'm grabbing the Ford without hesitation. #ChevroletSilveradoEV

🔋🚗🛞 #electricvehicles and #tires !! ● About half of customers are largely indifferent to the brand of tires they buy. Price is the main differentiator. ● The tires on EVs can cost 20% more and require replacement 50% more frequently. ● The global market for EV tires is forecast to increase from an estimated $15.6 billion in 2022 to $46.2 billion in 2027 : https://lnkd.in/d4YS2ZVw ⚡Challenges : ● EVs burns through tires as well. Do electric cars have an air pollution problem? BEV cars , according to Michelin, increase tire wear by up to 20%. According to Goodyear, it's up to 50%.  https://lnkd.in/dnKkat6b https://lnkd.in/dP5gu7UE ● EVs weighs lot more than ICE cars and accelerate much faster than ICE : • 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 : 5,540 lbs, 2022 GMC Hummer EV : 9063 lbs. • 2024 Kia Niro : 3247 lbs, 2023 Kia Niro EV : 3803lbs. ● Recycling : EV adoption to lead to scrap tire surge: U.S. currently produces approximately 315 million scrap tires annually. The coalition estimates the number of scrap tires that will be produced as drivers transition to EVs will increase by 12%, reaching 352 million annually by 2030. https://lnkd.in/dqrqVRRr ⚡EV Owners Uninformed of Faster Tire Wear, Leading to Lower Satisfaction, J.D. Power Finds : https://lnkd.in/dGiH9qD7 ● EV owners experience faster tire wear compared to gas-powered vehicle owners, affecting overall satisfaction. ● Michelin leads in luxury, passenger car, and performance sport segments. ● Falken tops the truck/utility segment rankings. ● The study emphasizes the importance of educating EV owners on expected tire performance and wear. ● Collaboration between tire manufacturers and automakers is essential to balance tire wear with vehicle range. ⚡Rivians’ Tires Are Wearing Out in as Little as 6,000 Miles. Here’s Why : 7,000-pound curb weight and extreme torque could cause rapid wear, despite Pirelli covering all of Rivian's OE tires for at least 50,000 miles. • https://lnkd.in/dZr3Zm6y • https://lnkd.in/dZYNNaRX ● Nobody Told EV Owners How Quickly They Burn Through Tires : https://lnkd.in/dcG5tS8Q ⚡Why Tire Companies Love EVs : https://lnkd.in/d9UCSPPv #emobility #sustainablemobility #batterytechnology #tires #automotive #racetozero #zeroemissions #valuechain #usa #energytransition #market

It’ll be interesting to see if OEMs like Tesla sell their cars with these tires bc of increased efficiency or for noise reduction.

Location, location, location! Location isn’t just important in real estate—it’s crucial for your vehicle too. The climate and road conditions where you drive your car, truck, or SUV can significantly impact its quality, longevity, and overall value. That's why we make an extra effort (and go the extra 1,030 miles in this case) to get our hands on quality trucks. This 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x4 Diesel Boss Plow Mount Work Truck is no exception. Learn more about this truck: https://lnkd.in/gDEXevPu Stock: 11941 #location #theextramile

I can’t say I am the biggest EV proponent as I am still a big ICE fan but I have to make mention that if anyone is in the market for a truck or possibly a trade-in to save money, you’d be hard pressed to find a deal better than a #Rivian lease right now. I bit the bullet on a 4 motor RT1. I went with a 36 month, 12k miles per year, $1800 dollars down ($1k holder/binder & $800 trade in equity). $2800 total at closing netted a monthly payment of $667. Their numbers are not smoke and mirrors. If you are not familiar with the RT1/RS1 (SUV), they are 95% pick up truck (or SUV), 165% roller coaster, 150% off-road beast, 90% luxury car. This equates to 500% of stupid-grin inducing, Semi-hauling, (possible) planet helping, gas pump ignoring, assisted driving euphoria.

"🔍 Understanding Mercedes Tire Pressure Sensors" "Did you know that Mercedes vehicles come with two types of tire pressure monitoring systems? Let's explore the differences between Direct and Indirect systems. 🔧 Direct System  Direct tire pressure monitoring systems use sensors inside the tires to provide real-time pressure readings. This system offers precise and instant feedback, alerting you immediately if there's an issue.  🔧 Indirect System  Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems work with your car's ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to estimate tire pressure based on wheel speed. It's less precise but still effective in ensuring your safety. 📏 How to Check Tire Pressure 1. Check the dashboard display for tire pressure readings. 2. Regularly inspect your tires for any visible issues. 3. Schedule your service with OnlyBigCars for a comprehensive tire check-up. Keep your ride smooth and safe with regular tire maintenance! #Mercedes #OnlyBigCars #Luxurycars #Luxurycarrepairs

🛞 🤔 How are EV #tires different from the regular ones we've used for years, and are they worth the investment? Here is what sets EV tires apart from the conventional:   🔇 Noise Reduction: EV tires are designed with quiet in mind, using special tread patterns and materials that absorb sound, ensuring a hushed ride.   ⚖️ Weight Endurance: EVs pack extra pounds due to their batteries. Regular tires might throw in the towel early under this weight, but EV tires are built tough, designed to handle that extra load and go the extra mile.   🏎️ Strong Traction: Electric motors provide instant torque, meaning rapid acceleration right from the start. EV tires come equipped with stiffer and wider ribs for unbeatable grip, reducing slippage and improving overall control.   🛠️ Enhanced Durability: To match the unique driving dynamics of EVs, the rubber compounds in these tires include high-performance materials like resin and silica, making them more robust and ready for any road challenge.   🔋 Reduced Rolling Resistance: Every bit of energy counts, especially when you're running on a battery. EV tires are crafted to minimize energy loss, which helps conserve battery life and extend your adventure on the road.   🗣 #WhatsYourOpinion: Do you think EV tires are a good investment for fleets?   #ElectricVehicles #EVs #SustainableTransport #CleanTransportation   https://lnkd.in/epsa7T-k
