Nonsense most EVs are very similar in weight to their ICE counterparts. My Model S weighs about 2 100 kg, a comparable sized ICE car such as an S-class Mercedes weighs slightly less to slightly more depending on which options you specify.
Tesla Model S has smaller interior than Camry.
Tesla Model S - 4,561 lb.
Toyota Camry - 3,340 lb.

Nobody gives a shit how many miles the tires on a Mercedes get. Nobody is buying a Tesla based on maintenance costs.
2022 Accord ICE is 3,223 lbs. compare to the most popular sedan.
That’s a 20% difference.
Stop playing games. You’re fucking over your side of the argument.
Model S Long Range: 510lb heavier than a BMW 540i XDrive Model 3 Performance 379lb heavier than a BMW 330i XDrive Rivian R1S weighs over 7200lb. University of Leeds study (UK): electric cars are 312 kilograms (688 pounds) heavier on average than comparable vehicles powered by gasoline engines.
The figure may be taken from the Large Cars section of table 2 in this study (though the average weight difference given in the table is actually 433kg): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353150136_Comparati...
We didn't hear about tire wear as much on the Nissan leaf.
We've taken 5% of cars that had 7+ second 0-60 times and replaced them with 3 second 0-60 cars. And we've removed the most direct cost of that acceleration (fuel).
If we play at being objective and get caught leaving bits out, people shut down and label you a liar.
I presume brakes and tires partially cancel out, depending on car model. Some vehicles do engine braking automatically (mine does).
