The weight difference between Toyota Mirai [fuel-cell] and Tesla Model S [electric] is 5-20% (the Mirai being lighter).

Not a big difference considering that weight isn't a big issue (wind drag and wheel/road friction are the main factors for range).

For example, someone calculated that simply removing the side-mirrors on a car would increase range by 5+ percent.
