I had hoped an electric vehicle future would have meant a lot less road noise but if everything is clocking in curb weights in excess of 5,000 lbs I guess it won’t be as serene as I dreamed. Sad.
- Animats 5y agoWeight is a problem for EVs, but it's not as bad for car-sized vehicles. - Chevy Malibu (IC powered): 3,456 pounds. - Chevy Bolt: 3,589 pounds. - Tesla Model 3: 3,550 pounds. But for trucks: - Ford F-150, IC-powered: 5,684 pounds - Ford F-150 Lightning: 6,590 pounds - Hummer H1 (IC, discontinued): 8,114 pounds. - Hummer EV: 9,000 pounds. So, for a car, it's maybe 150 pounds extra for an electric, but for a truck, about 900 extra pounds.
