EVs are heavier but by far the heaviest vehicles sold by volume are ICE SUVs and trucks. This should be a neutral measure based on the risky attribute since heavier vehicles are more dangerous to everyone regardless of the power source.
- bluGill 3y agoThere are already a few EV trucks and SUVs - and they are significantly heavier in general. Maybe a diesel truck (which mostly doesn't even have a EV option yet) would be as heavy - I can't find any specs to compare but maybe your google-fu is better. A Tesla model3 is not much lighter than a F150 (lowest weight of the F150), but is clearly much smaller.
- acdha 3y agoYes, nobody’s arguing that EVs are light. My point was simply that because EVs are still a small percentage of the market there are more heavy ICE vehicles on the road because we’re three decades into consumers moving away from small cars. That Tesla 3 buyer was more likely to have also been considering an Escalade than a Honda Civic.
