EVs really are not a great deal heavier than the ICE versions of the same or similar vehicles.
The Jaguar I-Pace EV is lighter than some variants of the F-Pace ICE.
- lawaaiig 2y agoHyundai offers an EV version of the Casper: it's 1335kg vs 985kg for the petrol variant. Surely that's a great deal heavier? The Aygo finds an all-electric competitor in the Renault Zoë whose battery pack alone weighs 300kg, a hefty increase compared to the 70kg engine of the aygo. Volkswagen's up! comes in at 929kg; the e-up! registers at 1229kg. Regarding the I-pace vs the F-pace I was unable to find more than a single version with a greater weight than the I-pace, though I admit I haven't analyzed the specs of all 108 editions. That single example weighing more was, of course, a hybrid. EV versions are, primarily due to the weight of their battery packs, significantly heavier than their ICE counterparts and that's fine.
