    This really only applies to oversized electric trucks and SUVs, due to their low efficiency and associated need for massive batteries, not EVs in general. Mine weighs the same as a comparable sedan.

    Unfortunately EVs are mostly comprised of oversized SUVs but not exclusively.

    If you’re concerned about tire pollution, you can switch any vehicle to a harder rubber compound, at the expense of grip and safety.

      Perhaps they compare, but assuming small batteries and consequently small range. Which might still be fine for shopping and shorter trips I guess. And I agree that oversized EVs is all the rage these days
