We don't need more heavyweight EVs using energy just to carry batteries around to appease people who "need" >300km a day of range. It gets 260km range. That's fine. Especially since to charges to 80% in 30 minutes. Good time for a relaxed shit and a coffee.
The press release states that the Twingo will weigh 1200 kg, so even with 5-10 kWh more it wouldn't be classified as "heavyweight".
A larger battery means the car needs to be larger. And this is not supposed to be large car.
