SEOUL -- Hyundai Motor Group has partnered with Michelin to develop tires optimized for electric vehicles, the South Korean automaker said Monday, part of a push to extend the range of its cars.
EVs tend to be heavier than gasoline-powered autos due to the weight of batteries. Hyundai and Michelin look to create new designs and materials for a tire that can support the added weight with less resistance.
