A friend of mine recommended I watch this video after I was asking him about the limits of these things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJL9MasBFvM&ab_channel=EngineeringExplained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJL9MasBFvM&ab_channel=Engin... I attempted to summarize below: "ah yes, it's because the batteries take up a vastly large percentage of the vehicles weight. For towing (hauling?) this is a critical figure, whereas it generally doesn't matter for a passenger car. That said, IIUC, this is equivalent to range, it's just that many gas cars choose to sell lower percentage weight tanks since they go plenty far already, and that way you accelerate faster." Sorry for the strange comment style.
