Imogen Bhogal treads thoughtfully through a topic that battery EVs have brought to the fore. In this episode of the Everything Electric Podcast, we sit down with Hankook's Neil Barrett, EV Lead at Hankook, to uncover how tyre technology is being completely re-engineered for the electric age. From instant torque and heavier vehicles to noise reduction and energy efficiency, Neil explains how Hankook's groundbreaking iON range, backed by 58 patents and insights from Formula E racing, is redefining performance for electric vehicles. Discover how the right tyres can dramatically affect your range, grip, wear, noise, and even pollution levels, and why EVs need a completely different approach to what keeps them on the road. This conversation will change the way you think about tyres — and how much they impact your driving experience, efficiency, and wallet.
