British tyre firm Enso will launch its range-extending tyres for electric cars later this summer - operating a unique ‘pay-per-mile’ subscription model aimed at cutting running costs.
The first sets of its TX1 rubber, designed to extend the range of electric taxis, will be fitted to a fleet of 100 LEVC black cabs in London.

Sounds like a good business model from Enso. Once fitted, presumably the driver is committed to the brand - and presumably even if the vehicle is sold on, the next owner inherits these tyres and the subscription fee that goes with it.
And hard tyres means longer braking distances, and less grip in the wet.
Be careful of what you're asking for.
