EVs are still significantly heavier than the ICE equivalent though, compare models from European manufacturers that sell the same body in EV or ICE versions. The EV version is typically a few hundred kilogram heavier, or even more if you get a bigger battery.
- WhompingWindows 5y agoWeight is certainly a variable one can point to, but EVs still end up VASTLY more energy efficient than ICE vehicles. If you account for the hundreds of gallons of fuel inserted and burned by the ICE vehicle over time, much of which is then wasted as excess heat energy, the "weight" of an EV's battery starts to look pretty good.
