Who said they were heavier for safety reasons? Batteries are heavy, and if we want a realistic EV future we need to accept that.

- afiori 4y ago> The future is going to involve heavier cars for both emission and safety reasons. Fixating on weight is a bad idea. This part implies that future safer cars will have to be heavier to be safer better. I do not particularly want an EV future, I do want a future with less ICE cars on the streets, I would prefer less car dependence and stronger public transit. EV ameliorate a lot of problems of ICE, but are not a panacea. In particular I would consider myself lucky if I would never have to see an electric SUV.
