Under the wave of new energy vehicle development, major domestic tire companies have also developed and launched tires that are suitable for new energy vehicles. So, what's the difference between new energy tires and fuel tires?
The development of new energy vehicles has prompted tire companies to develop higher quality tires (EV tires) to adapt to new energy vehicles. What is the difference between EV tires and fuel powered car tires?
First of all, electric vehicles need larger battery packs, so the overall weight of new energy vehicles will be relatively large, which means that tires need more load-bearing capacity, pressure resistance and wear resistance.
Secondly,new energy vehicle have higher torque, faster acceleration, and require stronger grip from the tires.
Thirdly, the issue of muting. Due to the lack of an engine in new energy vehicles, owners cannot hear the sound of the engine inside the vehicle, and tire noise can be transmitted clearly to the interior, which puts higher demands on the quietness of EV tires.
Finally, to improve the endurance of new energy vehicle, it is necessary to have lower rolling resistance of tires and be lighter.
What do I need to pay attention to when using EV tires？
EV tires need to pay attention to tire pressure during use, just like fuel vehicles. Too low tire pressure will increase power consumption, too high tire pressure will affect comfort, and in serious cases, it will burst.
So it's important to maintain reasonable tire pressure. The recommended tire pressure values will be indicated on the vehicle, usually in the form of a sticker affixed to the cab door (near the B-pillar). In addition, the car has the tire pressure alarm function, when the tire pressure is abnormal, the dashboard will appear signs.
In addition, the summer is coming, and the tires should not be washed immediately after running at high speed or for a long time, which will add tire aging. At this time, it is best to stop the heat dissipation, and then wash the car after the tire temperature drops.
In short, the era of new energy vehicles gradually replacing fuel vehicles has also put forward new requirements for the tire industry, and those tire companies with strong research and development strength will have more advantages. At the same time, this is also a corner overtaking opportunity for Chinese tire companies. With the east wind of new energy vehicles, strengthen and expand Chinese tire brands and improve the position of Chinese tires in the global market.
