since this is about fuel consumption I assume that it doesn't apply to EVs

EVs are already using tires which are optimized for low rolling resistance because when you make the car that much more efficient, smaller losses become more visible.

Energy consumption. EVs being heavier, it actually matters more for them

  • the energy consumption of EVs is already massively below gas vehicles. also, as others have pointed out, their tires already are within the regulations.

    • this regulation is about replacement tires, which people buy... EV owners could (before this) also buy tires that no longer comply with this new regulation
