From Everything Electric Show.
Electric cars are heavy, boast instant torque and are ultra-quiet—all factors that put massive stress on standard tyres, leading to faster wear, reduced range, and noticeable road noise.
In this episode of Everything Electric TECH, we dive into the fascinating engineering of the rubber rings that connect your EV to the road and discover how Hankook’s iON technology has effectively "reinvented the wheel" via the four key pillars of Hankook’s iON lineup:
🪶 i Extreme Lightness: Unique compounds and structural design for lower rolling resistance, boosting battery range by up to 6%
🏃 i Super Mileage: Pro-durable compound and ’round even technology’ for even stress distribution, helping tires last up to 15% longer.
🤫 i Sound Absorber: Acoustic foam for low-frequency sound and a unique ‘corn husk’ tread pattern for high-frequency noise, resulting in an 18% reduction in road noise.
🤝 i Perfect Grip: Optimised profile and 3D interlocking sipes (like Lego bricks!) for superior stability and 10% higher grip
From the ABB FIA Formula E World Championships to your daily commute, Hankook is solving the biggest EV tyre challenges.
