Only poorly designed EV's are significantly heavier.

A Tesla 3 and a BMW 3 are about the same weight.

BMWs are all pigfat today. Compare it to a proper sports car like a Miata.

Most cars are far too heavy and should be made lighter. Only Mazda seems to understand this and that's why the Mazda SUVs/sedans are by far the best driving vehicles in their class.

  • BMW has hardware and software bloat for sure, I hate driving them. But sedans, even the heavy ones, don't really hurt roads much compared to a lorry.

    As your wikipedia link indicates, any road that is designed for lorry use should be able to take heavy sedans all day and not be worse for wear:
