The Smart Choice for Your Electric Vehicle
Why Continental?
DESIGNED FOR YOUR NEEDS Whatever you value, we have you covered—grip, tread life, noise or range.
A LEADER IN EV All Continental product lines are designed with Electric Vehicles (EVs) in mind and are optimized for the needs of all types of vehicles.
ENGINEERING EXPERTISE Our extensive work as an automotive components supplier for EVs gives us firsthand insight into the EV market needs—something no other tire company can offer.
Our Tires are EV Capable
WEIGHT
EVs are typically heavier due to the additional weight from the battery. Continental tires are designed to carry the additional weight of your EV, as long as the proper load capacity restrictions are observed.
NOISE
Because of the quieter electric motor, EVs have less cabin noise. So, it may be more important for an EV owner to purchase a premium tire designed for low noise. Our acoustic and comfort optimizations make sure Continental tires are designed for a quiet ride.
RANGE
Due to limited battery range per charge and extended charging times, vehicle range is likely to be top of mind for EV owners. Continental leverages our proprietary technologies to deliver efficient tires for all customers, regardless of their choice in engine type.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No. All Continental tires are designed for usage on both Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles and Electric Vehicles (EVs).
There are 3 main differences between an electric and internal combustion engine vehicle as it relates to tire performance:
EVs are typically heavier, due to the additional weight of the battery.
EVs create less cabin noise, therefore tire noise may be more evident.
EVs have a driving range per charge, which is influenced by the efficiency of the tires.
EV Ready easily identifies that the tire is capable of meeting the needs of an EV vehicle.
All Continental tires are EV Ready and capable of meeting the needs of an EV vehicle. The EV Ready marking on the sidewall will be added to all new tires as they are introduced to the market.
No. While tire efficiency and vehicle efficiency can be more top of mind for an electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle customer, this need exists similarly for vehicles with combustion engines. Continental ensures a high level of efficiency, as well as long tread life, and a high level of grip and comfort.
