The BMW i3 when from 22kWh to 42kWh in a few years but that’s a bit the exception.

BMW 5-series with an ICE engine vs BMW i3 EV. Apples and oranges.

kWh is measure of battery capacity not performance.

Yes, battery capacity is the main thing when you compare early EVs. I think the amont of energy the battery can generate and how fast the car can drive a long distance does fit the performance definition, but I agree it’s not the classic definition of comparing the speed on a tiny segment.

On short distances, the 22kWh version is actually a bit faster because the battery is slightly lighter.

It's a dimension of performance, like many others. But lifecycle CO2 footprint is currently the most important performance metric of cars from the holistic pov.
