Maybe they were skeptical two years ago. So you need to have grip, but you dont want too much resistance. And around and around. And because the batteries often are set low in the vehicle, the center of gravity in electrics is different from that in a conventionally powered car. Is this change of sensation disconcerting for some drivers? Silica decreases the tires energy consumption.
Maybe they were skeptical just eight months ago.
