ICE vs EV curb weights compared:
Sedans:
- BMW 3 series: 1,445 kg
- Tesla Model 3 SR: 1,617 kg
Δ: 12%
SUV:
- BMW X3 series: 1,875 kg
- Tesla Model Y SR: 1,929 kg
Δ: 2.88% !! Not so significant, is it?
- suture 4y agoA Hyundai Kona electric is 15% heavier than the Hyundai Kona ICE version. I was under the impression that damage to the roads due to weight followed a power law. I think I’m right in my assessment. https://streets.mn/2016/07/07/chart-of-the-day-vehicle-weight-vs-road-damage-levels/ https://streets.mn/2016/07/07/chart-of-the-day-vehicle-weigh...
- hedora 4y agoOk, but accessories like power seats also add weight. 15% is a few hundred pounds. That's nothing compared to changing vehicle class or frame dimensions. If you're willing to not have a front trunk, you can get a smaller, nimbler car with similar safety and legroom.
- lttlrck 4y agoWhy SR and not the approx. 200kg heavier LR?
- rcMgD2BwE72F 4y agoBecause it's, by far, the most popular model (once it's being produced locally).
