But the new item to me (you guys knew all along?) is the EV tires wear out really fast (under 10,000 miles) due to the heavy weight and new ones cost a lot to cope with the weight. And release chemicals into the air.

More or less a bogus argument. Heavy trucks (including freight trucks) cause the majority of tire wear waste into the environment, and no one complains about that. Might as well ban freight trucks and buses. Then there are the tire blowouts that frequently happen with heavy trucks, causing accidents on highways. And they cause wear and tear of the road surfaces, making potholes that ruin vehicle suspensions.

Everything you said was true.

That argument is used when states demand more tax money from trucks.
