Only if we continue to buy absurdly large vehicles. Electric hatchbacks and sedans are lighter even with battery weight included.
And if people won't change on their own, then tax the vehicles based on weight.
My petrol car is 900kg
The closest electric replacement is 1500kg to 1600kg
...with more room inside.
The difference is not that big
2025 byd dolphin (big battery): 1658kg
2025 Corolla Ascent Sport Hev, 1.8l: 1430 kg
You're still comparing a hybrid to an electric lmao
2025 corolla gts: 1510kg (ok, its awd)
