It is an extreme example, but every pure EV I have seen is heavier than the ICE equivalent.
The Model 3 3500-4000 lb, and its a small car and lighter than most other EVs.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoThe Model 3 is a compact car @ 3,862 to 4,048 lbs, so it would comparable to an Accord rather than a Civic. A Honda accord is 3,239 to 3,280 lbs, so the Model 3 is obviously a few hundred pounds heavier (from 600 - 800 lbs).
- brucethemoose2 3y agoAnd I would assert that ~3250lb is rather porky for a compact ICE car, even though thats "normal" these days.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYa, I’m much more interested in a luxury civic class EV, but those don’t really exist yet. We just have the leaf, bolt, and mini in the states.
