My father who owns an electric car (I don't) told me that the increased torque eats away the tires much faster. Not sure how connected to the reality that is.

Correct, but I would say that is user error. You don't HAVE to accelerate faster.

Increased forces from similar speeds but with more weight in cornering wears down tires more in electric cars. Less so the torque myths
