    Yes but you called out trucks like they’re the only issue. An electric leaf is almost 5k pounds…a leaf…

      A leaf is 3500-3900 lbs, not almost 5k lbs

        Well if you squint at that round to the nearest 5k ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

        Curb weight on them is 4,900, yes it’s not 5k that’s why I said nearly 5k…and the point I am making is that a tiny car like that weighing that much shows that batteries are not light.

          You added an extra 1000 lbs to the heaviest version, then rounded up. The whole entire point of standard weights is so numbskulls don’t just make up numbers for how much things weigh, like you are. The leaf is 350-3900 lbs, not 4900 lbs, not 5000 lbs. Please go back to elementary school.

              Curb weight is the weight of the car itself, plus any gas, oil, etc it needs to function.

              Gross weight is maximum weight the vehicle is designed to support. It’s the curb weight plus the payload capacity.

              If a car has a curb weight of 3k lbs and a gross weight of 4k, it doesn’t weigh 4k lbs unless you have 1k lbs of passengers and cargo in it.
