You'll be looking for the lowest rolling resistance you can, but unfortunately manufacturers don't typically publish those numbers. Instead, they are starting to make "EV" tires. I believe those should have low rolling resistance in general, which would translate into better efficiency.

I think that by going for this you will sacrifice some stickiness / performance as there are probably no real performance tires that have an EV model. Tradeoffs as always, depends on what you put at the top of the priority list.
 
I have recently come to terms that Z rated tires are vampires for EV efficiency (this is on a p3 with aeros). I went from a solid 240wh/mi avg to 280wh/mi in city and 320wh/mi on highway. My car just became a city car just because of tires. If you want efficiency, go with the highest treadwear rating on the tire. (harder the tire, less sticky to the road) I regret getting Z rated tires. Luckily they were cheap and probably wont last long as they are soft.
