The weight I'm referring to is the weight of both systems, which is typically heavier than 1 system.

In terms of ev weight overall, it's typically close to ice weight. (Obviously a lot of differences between vehicle class and range).

An ev has motor, batteries, plus controllers. Ice has engine, gearbox, fuel tank, radiator [1], exhaust.

[1] Evs also have a radiator, but its a much smaller system running at lower Temps, with less water.

I'm converting an old vehicle now to EV and the overall weight difference is not significant.
