Really? By how much, and where does the data come from? Is it comparing like for like cars?


No because EVs are typically huge.


The Hyundai Ioniq EV is the same size as the hybrid version and less than a 100 k heavier.

My Tesla S 70D weighs about the same as Mercedes S-class which is a similar size.

The typical EV where I live, Norway, is a Tesla Model 3 or a Volkswagen ID3. The first weighs 1 600 to 1 800 kg, the second 1 700 to 1 900 kg. That makes the Model 3 less than 200 kg heavier than my Rover 75 Connoisseur which was a similar size.

Not everyone has a Mercedes EQ SUV.
