Pirelli Elect electric vehicle tires have gained "300 homologations" worldwide, say Pirelli & Cie SpA officials.
"Demand for these products has rocketed. Compared to the same period last year, new homologations in the first half of 2023 grew at more than double the speed (plus-125%) of last year, underlining Pirelli's increasing prominence in electric mobility."
Pirelli describes Elect as "a package of technologies developed to complement the unique characteristics of electric and plug-in hybrid cars. These vehicles have specific needs – with heavy weight and instant torque – that make tires even more important than usual. The structure and materials used in Elect tires can resist these demands and respond with greater reactivity, making them even more durable."
The new Pirelli P Zero E, a high-performance tire designed for electric cars, is the latest Pirelli brand EV tire to hit the market.
