Entirely dependent on the model. A base model RWD EV sedan (Model 3, Ioniq 6) weighs less than 2 tons.

If you have a moronmobile like a Hummer, sure.

The lightest model 3 weighs about 3900lbs. Which is going to be like 1000lbs on any similarly sized ICE car

Would you consider a BMW 3 Series a similar sized ICE car?

According to BMW they range from 3536-4008 lbs.

Sorry I figured 900 lbs was pretty close to "like 1000 lbs"

[–] skysurfer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

3900-3500 = 400?

What?

My Ford Focus weighed 3000 lbs and was half the size of a Model 3.

You're full of shit, my dude.
