No, electric SUVs and other obese models are heavier. There's plenty of EVs that are lighter than ICE cars.

Not than an equivalent ICE car. Sure you can make a subcompact EV, but it's either gonna have no range, or weigh more than a Nissan Versa.

I mean, I never talked about just EVs. ICEs also have become way too big and consequently heavy over the decades. As far as I'm concerned, fuck cars in general.
