Do New Energy Vehicles Have Spare Tires?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles do not have spare tires: Here are the reasons why new energy vehicles do not have spare tires: 1. From the perspective of new energy vehicle development, interior space is a major challenge throughout the entire vehicle development process. In early new energy vehicle products, the onboard batteries often occupied the entire space. Although most new energy vehicles have trunks of over 600L, the area underneath is occupied by the battery, leaving no room for a spare tire. Over time, this has become the choice of most automakers. 2. To save energy consumption and reduce vehicle weight, tools like inflators or tire repair kits are used instead of spare tires. In most cases, a compact spare tire weighs around 15kg, while a full-size spare tire is even heavier. In contrast, the weight of tire repair kits provided by major automakers is generally under 3kg. Additionally, due to the heavy weight and cumbersome process of changing a spare tire, many drivers do not know how to use it. Comparatively, lightweight tire repair kits are much more convenient.
