Most EVs weigh in the 4000-5000lb range, which is comparable to most ICE midsized and larger sedans and crossovers. My Q7 weighs more than any EV with the sole exception of the big Mercedes EQV passenger van (which weighs about the same). This is a non-issue as far as tire particulate pollution, but may well be a “hey wait a minute” moment for the Eco-mentalists in trying to ban *all* cars.

Toyota Camry = 3500 lb 100.4 cuft
Toyota Corolla = 3100 lb 84.6 cu ft
Tesla Y = 4400 lb 100.6 cu ft
Tesla mod 3 = 4000 lb 97 cu ft

Looks to me that battery cars like battery cars run 41 to 44 lb per cubic foot of passenger space and ICE vehicles run 35 to 36 lb per cubic foot of passenger space. Looks to me that battery cars run about 20% heavier than ICE cars for the same interior space. So 20% more tire wear, 20% more energy consumed- what a great idea </ sarcasm>
