I hope you are not successful. Your policy is the wrong solution and will have side effects you cannot predict.

Would you care to lay some of them out? I can see this being a problem with EVs, but I'm interested as to what you're thinking.

Unfortunately you did not spell out what you were thinking. But I had a similar reaction.

I believe that cars in general had less weight 40 years ago. But it came at a cost of much worse crash safety in form of deformation zones and general sturdyness.

But I am sure the GP is also aware of these issues and can comment.
