It definitely varies, though under 400 lbs would be tough to find....it takes a significant amount of effort to make a light, high power engine. Electric motors OTOH are well understood, and relatively easily engineered.
The point still stands though. You're savings a few hundred pounds compared to an ICE, but you're losing more than in battery weight. An x2 (or maybe even x1.5) increase in battery density, and a (ground up) electric vehicle will almost always be lighter than a similar conventional car with a full tank of gas.
