Study of Electric Vehicle Range Loss Associated with Replacement Tires
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
The FuelEconomy.Gov website has become a trusted source for consumers to find information pertaining to fuel economy and fuel-efficient vehicles. As electric vehicles are an increasingly important part of the light-duty fleet in the U.S., there is a need to expand the website content that is targeted to electric vehicle (EV) owners. This report addresses a concern about which several anecdotal reports have come to the attention of the website support staff. Specifically, some EV owners have observed a sudden, noticeable decrease in their all-electric range when they replace the tires that came with their vehicle when it was new. This change has reportedly led some owners to take their vehicles to the dealership service department out of concern that something had gone wrong with the vehicle.
