I did some research and it seems this is already a problem with ICE vehicles because of the pickup/SUV trend.

I don’t know how precise this data is, but apparently the top selling models in the US are [1]:

1. Ford F-150 (1,846–2,584 kg)

2. Chevrolet Silverado (2,029–2,272 kg)

3. Toyota RAV4 (1,530–1,640 kg)

4. Tesla Model Y (1,884–1,998 kg)

5. Honda CR-V (1,500–1,681 kg)

6. Dodge Ram (2,176–3,418 kg)

7. GMC Sierra (2,029–2,272 kg)

8. Toyota Camry (1,480–1,660 kg)

9. Toyota Tacoma (2,007–2,032 kg)

10. Tesla Model 3 (1,611–1,836 kg)

They do seem to average 200-300 kg more than a comparable ICE model but as a whole they’re not tremendous outliers.

ICE vehicles are getting larger because they're exempt from fuel economy requirements.
