Exactly, it's unlikely an HGV driver will go "sod the M25 - I'm going to cut across central London". If you are driving an HGV in London it's because that's where you are delivering to.

Exactly, plus the costs just get passed on to the end consumer

EVs cause toxic pollution too via particulates from their tyres.

Do you really believe that. We have have several Evs in the family. My wife's Model 3 has only had 4 sets of tyres in 110k miles, this car has over 300hp

My models S has 600hp and has more than 25k miles on its original set of tyres.

Our Nissan leaf, goes through tyres around 24k miles.

With over 250,000 miles in Evs. They don't use tyres any quicker than ICE vehicles

My point was that it's now well established that tyre particulates are a major source of pollution. Lots of articles and papers published on the subject.

As you say, EVs wear tyres just like other cars.

So yes, I really believe that, as I put it 'EVs cause toxic pollution too via particulates from their tyres'

Just at the supercharger with my trailer.

Guy next to me pulled up and started using the Gridserve supercharger. I got chatting asking why he's using those. He said he's a car trader and the V5 is in the post, he's already sold this car so was delivering it. Hes bought and sold 3 model 3 last week. Hes told me there is strong demand for the Teslas

The second hand ones because they are cheap.

Ever wondered about longevity of battery life and degradation, then worry not. A 220,000 mile Tesla 3 V 18,000 Tesla 3 V a new Model

Good news from the non Tesla fraternity also. It appears an ID lost 8 miles of range after 107,000 miles. Way above the warranty spec. Plus battery and management software is mproving year on year.
How much range has this electric VW lost after 107k miles in 4 years? https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/electriccars/article-14911843/Volkswagen-electric-car-range-lost-miles-years.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton
