My compact SUV Volvo EX40 has a 2,100+ kg curb weight.
Imagine this though: all the cars in the world switch from gas to electric, and on average add 30% of weight to every vehicle (which does seem like the normal increase). Wouldn’t that equate to adding, like, “X number of 18-wheelers” to the roads, wear and tear wise? Or does it not work like that?
MGS5 EV -> 1650 Kg
MG ZS gasoline -> 1250
Not that different. And you have to add another 50 - 80 L of gasoline¹ to make it even.
¹ the size of the tank is not shown in the specs.
⅓ increase or so. Pretty big difference IMO.
