    Which electric car is “roughly twice as heavy” as a comparable internal combustion car?

      the hummer ev weighs 2500lbs more than a hummer h2 and over 4000lbs heavier than a new tahoe.

      but, afaik, the two new vehicles arent sold there. as far as more normal vehicles, yeah there might be some weight penalty but they arent 2z heavy.

        The Hummer EV is the single most extreme example of an EV, an abnormal big monster car with an abnormal big monster battery. But still those 2500 lbs mean that it’s just about 50% heavier than the Hummer H2 (starting at 6400 lbs vs EV’s 9000 lbs), which, though also being an abnormal big monster car, still was much smaller than the EV, which is 13 inch longer and 5 inch wider than the H2’s long version.
