    so are you wilfully ignoring the obvious fact that this depends on the actual weight of the vehicle, or are you just posting despite not knowing what you’re talking about?

    There’s a very very easy solution to this: Make the cars smaller and lighter. There’s no reason to make cars with 400km of range, it’s utterly insane.
    If we just change the default design of electric cars from “4 seats plus a huge trunk” to “2 dedicated seats plus 2 seats that can fold down”, then the weight issue is more than negated.

      The weight issue is because electric cars have extremely heavy batteries (the motors aren’t light too) and need to be strong enough to prevent those batteries from physical deformation in the event of an accident to prevent a battery fire

      For someone so combative you seem to have no idea what you’re talking about
