The Pirelli Elect tyres are a range from Pirelli made specifically for electric cars and plug-in hybrids. As Pirelli continues to expand its catalogue, the Pirelli Elect line of tyres will now include a winter range of tyres. Pirelli has also decided to expand the Elect line to aftermarket sales as well. The line had previously only dealt in original equipment but the expansion was decided on to make the line more available and accessible.
The Elect line is only the most recent of Pirelli’s tyre lines to expand into winter ranges. Previous ranges such as the P Zero, Cinturato, and Scorpion ranges have all featured summer tyres, winter tyres, and all-season tyres. With the expansion of the use of electric cars globally, Pirelli decided that their Elect range should also feature winter tyres. As Pirelli, is one of the leading tyre providers globally, they are one of the first companies to break ground in making winter tyres for electric cars. The Pirelli Elect winter range tyres exceed 65% of the premium and prestige market.

As well as creating winter tyres and expanding into tyres for all seasons, the Pirelli Elect range will also be making products for the aftermarket. This has become a necessity due to the rarity of aftermarket products for electric cars. While the first Elect model was a summer tyre created as original equipment, the aftermarket expansions are aimed at making Elect parts available for other Pirelli lines. The Elect aftermarket line will be focused on providing all-season variants for the P Zero, Cinturato, and Scorpion lines. The Scorpion line in particular will be relevant to Elect’s aftermarket expansions as the SUV-specific line has the most room for adaptation to Elect aftermarket products.

The range of Elect aftermarket products will have the same features and advantages as the original equipment. These include features such as
- Reduced battery consumption
- Management of the increased torque of electric engines
- Weight support for the vehicle, and more.
The best benefit that Elect tyres offer is that they allow drivers to benefit from the potential of BEV and PHEV vehicles in all conditions.
Pirelli collaborates with multiple key carmakers worldwide which secures the demand for their tyres. Pirelli Elect's original equipment tyres are marked on the tyre sidewall to distinguish them from all other tyres on the market. The work relationships between Pirelli and global car-making companies ensure that the Pirelli Elect will continue to innovate and create tyres that meet the specific automobile needs of electric vehicles. By 2021, the number of Elect homologations worldwide was over 250, cementing Pirelli as the tyre manufacturer with the highest homologations for electric cars.
