I'd hardly call a 2 tonnes EV a tiny car, which is the limit in the proposal.
The Tesla model 3 is right on that limit with 1.980 Kg, whereas the model Y weighs 2.4 tonnes.
In Denmark the model Y is by far the most sold car in 2023, with 1 out of every 10 cars being a model Y.
So I think it will be an uphill battle to enact the same law in Denmark.
- resolutebat 3y agoWhere are you getting those numbers from? Tesla's specs pages say 1777/1840kg and 1911/1981kg for the standard/long-range Model 3 and Model Y respectively: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_cn/GUID-56562137-FC31-4110-A13C-9A9FC6657BF0.html https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_cn/GUID-5656213... https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_cn/GUID-E47C4A6D-528E-419C-8C57-FD3864644C34.html https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_cn/GUID-E47C4A6... The Model 3 is undoubtedly still a heavy car, but the bulk of that is the battery pack, so the weight will go down as battery tech improves. Maybe it already has compared to your source?
- sharken 3y agoYou are absolutely correct, it was the Model S that I mistook for the Model Y from the source https://insideevs.com/news/527966/electric-cars-from-heaviest-lightest/ https://insideevs.com/news/527966/electric-cars-from-heavies... I wonder what made the Parisians choose 2 tonnes, lowering the limit could certainly be justified. The Model 3 and Y weigh twice that of my current drive, which is quite the difference.
