And... heavy electric batteries can add up to 40% more weight to a BEV vehicle compared to the ICE version. So not only are cars getting bigger in size, but they are also getting heavier due to electrification of the powertrain. A 3000lb car becomes a 4200lb car, a 4000lb SUV becomes a 5,600lb SUV.
I believe the Ford Motor Company CEO predicts that cars will get smaller but due to electrification, they will not lose weight.
