It’s more than likely that his odometer is off now so it’s the same just reading different

Simple steel wheels with smooth hubcaps would be better. Better yet would be shrouded wheels, a la GM EV1 and the original Honda Insight. Good luck with either one. They're not macho enough. I can't find the equivalent page now, but for the 2019 Zoe, Renault had a comprehensive webpage giving real world estimated range for various configurations of the car. One of the factors one could change was the wheel size - 15" or 16". Changing to the larger wheels caused a small loss of predicted range - 10-15km, if memory serves. Dumb idea. While I'm at it, I think I'll also rail about the non-functional, wind- catcing fins, grills, and complex sculptures added to make the front ends of recent vehicles look aggressive and angry. (Kind of like the people who buy them.) By and large, vehicle "design" (styling) aims for the amygdala, not the anterior cingulate cortex. That's one thing wrong with vehicle design.
