> Teslas are heavier because they have to use batteries and batteries are incredibly inefficient compared to petrol That's not anywhere near correct. With an ICE about 80% of the energy from the gasoline is lost, mostly due to heat. With an EV about 30-35% of the energy from the battery is lost if there is no regenerative braking. With regenerative braking EVs only lose about 11% of the energy from the battery. Here's an article with some nice diagrams of the losses in both [1].
