While this is generally true, tire wear is known to be generally faster on EVs due to their weight and instantaneous torque when accelerating.

Which, as an EV owner, feels like an "oh no, my steak is too buttery" kind of problem to have.

The instant torque also comes with better control over it, though. I don't doubt it's a thing, but I do doubt it outweighs all the other environmental benefits.

It’s the forces that accelerate the wear. Significant wheel speed is a rare occurrence in normal driving, but acceleration, cornering, and braking forces are ever present.
