A comment on Porsche Sold More Electrified Cars in Europe in 2025 Than Pure Gas-Powered Cars. Parent comment
In terms of ev weight overall, it's typically close to ice weight. (Obviously a lot of differences between vehicle class and range).
An ev has motor, batteries, plus controllers. Ice has engine, gearbox, fuel tank, radiator [1], exhaust.
[1] Evs also have a radiator, but its a much smaller system running at lower Temps, with less water.
I'm converting an old vehicle now to EV and the overall weight difference is not significant.
