The latest surge in fossil-fuel prices means it is now up to nine times cheaper in the UK to drive an electric vehicle (EV) than a petrol or diesel car, shows Carbon Brief analysis.
Where did you get this idea? EV’s go through brakes and tires faster than their ICE equivalents because of the extra vehicle weight.
Oh my, I think you just showed your hand about lack your of experience on the topic.
EVs (and many hybrids for that matter) use the brake pads significantly less than ICE vehicles because most of the braking energy is recovered from regen. I had a Prius for 9 years and sold it with the original factory brake pads still on it, with likely another 4-5 years of life on them.
My EV’s brake pads are still at 95% life even with the car being 4 years old.

They use regen braking for everything but very hard braking. The tyres are also generally very hard compounds to deal with the torque.
