That could be bad alignment or tire pressure. Are the tires cupping, are you getting uneven lateral wear, anything like that?
Besides that, EVs are just really heavy and weight wears out tires. Just a fact of life.

Grandparent said they were on year four and seemed to be saying they were on the first set of tires, which surprises me.

Apparently it's not just the weight, it's the instantaneous torque and noise that need to be considered. Lower noise and higher torque tolerance would, to me, imply a softer rubber compound is used, which would reduce longevity.
On the other hand, they also mention range and rolling resistance, which suggest that a harder compound might be used. Harder rubber typically corresponds to better longevity.
It's an interesting topic. Has anyone done a proper apples-to-apples test of EV tires versus their nearest equivalent "normal" tires?
