    That’s 3175 kg for non-free folk. My car has around 1600 kg. 7k pound car is a fat fat cow.

      It’s the battery, and the support frame to carry the weight of the battery safely. Like it or not - cars are getting heavier.

        It’s a big fat fucking truck or luxury suv with a battery. A normal sized electric car is a thing too, you know. Electrics will always need to be heavier than ice of same size and model, but that doesn’t mean it needs to weigh 3000kg. Car are growing heavier and bigger not just because of electrification, but because of growing fragile egos and growing fears in a vehicle arms race.
