Somewhat, but not completely: Visibility and center of gravity are also safety aspects, and a big battery doesn't per se make the former worse and actually (usually) makes the latter better, being mounted under the floor. So if an ICE model has one rating (or demands one kind of license), it makes some sense not to penalise an electric version but have the same limitations for that: It is worse than its fuel-driven counterpart only in the "F = ma" sense, but not otherwise. (To take a somewhat contrived example, an Audi E-Tron is probably less likely to flip over on top of a pdestrian than an A7. Or, recent talk about battery fires notwithstanding, to catch fire in doing so.)
