I would not be surprised if tires wear faster on a vehicle that weighs ~40% more. Another thing to consider is road damage, which is famously proportional to the weight to the power of four. [1]

Where did you get 40%? The EV version of my car (Ford Focus) is 10-20% more than a typical Ford Focus (depending on trim).
