A Tesla Model 3 weights roughly as much as its ICE equivalent (BMW 3 series).
- sgjohnson 5y agoBut this doesn’t scale well. Buses will be pulling a lot more weight than a Tesla Model 3 or BMW 3er. And you’ve got the same problem with semi-trucks. More weight to pull = more power required = more batteries required = more weight to pull. Almost a catch-22 when you factor in the increase in recharge time. For commercial vehicles, a minute of downtime is a minute of the said vehicle not making any money.
