Give Your EV a Boost with Lexani Volt-EC Tires

There are more electric vehicles on the road today and more are coming. As the world embraces electric cars, the aftermarket is expanding at an equally fast pace. If there is one truth about car enthusiasts, it's that there is a strong desire for ways to boost performance and range. That’s where Lexani comes in with its latest performance tire designed specifically for electric vehicles - the Volt-EC.

Torque

Electric motors have an advantage over gas engines in that every bit of torque the motor produces is available instantly. Gas motors have to build up torque, with the maximum torque only being available in a certain part of the power curve. An electric motor, which already out-produces a gas motor when it comes to torque, gives you full access to every foot-pound of torque it can produce right from the start. This is why electric cars are so much fun to drive. If you’ve seen videos, or witnessed in person, an EV is amazing at the drag strip. They can put all of that energy to the wheels for a sudden and exhilarating launch.

Having that fast acceleration calls for a tire that can grip the road and put that torque to good use. The Lexani Volt-EC does this by being specifically balanced for an EV. By not being as front-heavy as a gas-powered car, an EV spreads its weight differently than a traditional platform. The design of the Volt-EC is tuned to how this weight is spread, helping the tire find the optimal traction needed for a high-performance ride.

Drive Longer

Another key feature to a performance EV tire is the ability to extend your range between charges. This is why the Lexani Volt-EC is important. While it is designed to get the most of your car’s power to the road, it has also been engineered to give you added range. How it does this is through extremely low rolling resistance.

Some tires connect to the road in such a way that they actually grip too much. There is push back against the pavement when you’re moving that causes rolling resistance. In other words, the tire doesn’t flow with the motion, but instead stays put. It’s a balance between the surface of the road and the surface of the tire. In some tires and situations, rolling resistance is a good thing, but in an EV, it is taking more energy from the battery system to propel the car forward. The Lexani Volt-EC is designed to allow the car to move with better grip on the road, but not pushing back against the car’s momentum. This causes less strain on the battery system, giving you additional range between charges - always a good thing when traveling.

The lower rolling resistance and the specialized balance designed into the Volt-EC also makes it one of the more comfortable tires for you and your passengers. The ride quality is smooth and less of the road noise is transmitted to the interior.

A Tire Still Needs To Be A Tire

Gripping the road to accelerate and giving you added range between charges are aspects of a great EV tire, but a tire still needs to work well for everyday driving conditions. Again, the Lexani Volt-EC shines with outstanding wet traction.

Chances are slim to none that you will never drive your EV on wet pavement. The Volt-EC is a true all-season tire. The tread pattern is engineered to optimize the balance that makes it a great tire for grip, also giving it great traction when the environmental conditions are less than perfect. Wet pavement and snow create havoc for some tires, but the Volt-EC handles them very well. This is important because, as EVs continue to be a growing part of traffic everywhere, the weather isn’t going to be perfect all the time. You need a tire you can count on.

Size Matters

With there being EVs of every size and shape, including small, compact cars and sports cars up to large SUVs and trucks, finding EV-specific tires to fit everything could be an issue. Thankfully, the Lexani Volt-EC comes in 21 sizes. There is a Volt-EC for just about any EV on the road. If you drive an EV, you will want to look at the Volt-EC tire. If you are considering getting an EV, you can rest assured that there are products available to make owning one easier and more efficient. It is worth a look.
