The extra weight will destroy roads faster. I do not understand now carrying an extra 3,000 lbs will increase efficiency.
Read an article about overloading the parking garages in the UK because the new vehicle weights were no figured in.
THERE IS a problem NO ONE saw coming !!!!!!
It doesn't.
The laws of physics haven't been repealed. There's no way that generating electricity at a power plant hundreds of miles away then sending the electricity through high tension wires that generate heat, changing the voltage then running it through a charger into chemical batteries, to finally discharging those batteries and turning it into rotational energy is not hugely inefficient. All this does is move the source of the pollution from the vehicle's tailpipe to a power plant. It's a huge waste of energy stepping it through so many transformations and using it to power a vehicle that's 3000 lbs. heavier than it needs to be due to having to carry the batteries.
