The lightest EVs are still kinda heavy. The Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Bolt are nearly 4000 lbs, significantly more than a Honda Civic (high 2000's or low 3000's) comparable to a BMW M3, a much larger vehicle.

Plus some of the faster tire wear comes from the fact that EVs have such high torque from a stop. It's great for the driver experience, but tough on the tires.
