      I’ve commented on this before, though I couldn’t find it to plagiarise myself.

      Ford puma ICE: 1280KG
      Nissan leaf BEV: 1580KG
      Ford F150: 2134 KG
      Range Rover: 2513KG

      Honestly, tax weight and emissions. Emissions tax the energy put in the vehicle, and charge extra for high emissions in dense areas.

      I also advocate for smaller cars, but batteries are heavy as fuck. The same car just swapping the motor with a battery will be considerably heavier.

          And they will. Why have a 600 mile battery? Your bladder won’t last that long on the highway. Have a 300-400 mile battery and cut the weight.
