Our Story

EVtires Story and Founder

Electric Vehicles have been around since the late 1800's. A resurgence of interest and technological breakthroughs began in the early 2000's and in 2008 we saw a turning point in the evolution and most importantly the adoption of Electric Vehicles. We are excited to bring our 20 years of research, education and development to fruition at this pivotal point in the EV revolution. We have been following the development of EV specific tires for over a decade and doing the research to find which currently available tires are best suited for electric vehicles.

FOUNDER/CO-OWNER

Robert McDowell

Founder Robert McDowell, a former 3rd generation Oil Industry (Exxon...yes...Exxon) employee, was also founder of a post 9/11 non-profit that supported children of fallen US troops. The organization sent Christmas Gift Cards to the children and sent many of the kids on 'Christmas in July' Disney Cruises.

McDowell also co-produced a CD featuring children of fallen troops and he and the CD were featured on The NBC Today Show. He wrote and sang the title song and theThe CD made #8 on billboard charts. McDowell has met with the POTUS at Whitehouse (GWB), two Secretaries of Defense, numerous Hollywood Celebs (ie. Will Smith, Gary Sinese) and Sports Stars (ie. Tom Brady, Larry Izzo) in support and advocacy for the children.

Working with families of the fallen and a desire to help wean the US off of foreign oil is what fueled McDowell to launch EVtires.com as well as other EV related companies. "The fewer barrels of oil we import from over there the more our military men and women can spend time with their families at home. We want to be your hub for information on electric vehicle tires not just a sell through site. It may take a hot minute to get to your buy now button but you will be confidant in your purchase when you click it. ", McDowell

(Children of fallen troops are an integral part of this company. A portion of EVtires.com profits will go to support children of fallen troops. The Gary Sinese Foundation has a program that mirrors one of the programs offered by Mr. McDowells former foundation. https://www.garysinisefoundation.org/snowball-express/ )
