What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

PHEV are lighter than EV, the Niro gains 400lbs (over 10%) going from PHEV to full EV and it's already 300lbs heavier going from hybrid to PHEV!

There's also a big difference between what the tires are rated for vs what they usually last... My mother goes through a set of tires every 40k km or so with her Leaf even if the tires are rated for much more and the car's alignment is right on the dot!
