Of course that means more wheels needed, so more tires and other components. Tire wear also scales with axle weight (among other factors).
Total environmental impact depends on more than just the weight. The added weight isn't good, but may be offset by the other design changes.
EVs' heavier weight also cause more tire wear, creating more fine dust...
