Alignment and Tyre Care for Electric and Hybrid Cars

With Togg, Tesla and hybrid models, electric vehicles are becoming more common on the road. On these cars, alignment, balancing and tyre care is at least as important as on combustion-engine vehicles.

Why do tyres wear faster?

• Battery weight: Electric cars are usually heavier than petrol cars of a similar size.
• Instant torque: Torque is delivered at once when pulling away, which puts more strain on the tyres.
• Effect of angle errors: Combined with weight and torque, a small angle error accelerates tyre wear.

Vibration in a quiet cabin

Without engine noise, hum and vibration caused by imbalance are easier to notice in electric cars. Precise wheel balancing improves ride comfort.

Effect on range

Correct alignment reduces rolling resistance, which has a positive effect on range.

We perform 3D wheel alignment on electric and hybrid cars to manufacturer specifications, using the correct lifting points.
