There’s quick ICE cars too, but they don’t weigh as much as the 100 or so kWh battery pack in EVs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Typical EVs are about 10-15% heavier than the comparable ICE. Yes it makes a difference, but only marginally. Normal drivers without a lead foot get 10s of thousands of miles from tires, just like ICE vehicles. Also, few EVs that are not pickups have 100 kWh batteries; more typically 60-75. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
