    EVs are much heavier due to battery weight

    That’s not inherently true. It’s most true for grossly oversized and inefficient EVs. Which is unfortunately most of what they build today.

      Agreed. Here’s example of properly-engieneered EV for city in use:

        I mean I dunno about you but where I live it gets really fucking hot. And sometimes it rains. So something with a cabin and air conditioning is mandatory. I’m a big fan of electric micro-cars.

          Rain, snow, forest fires, from -25°C to +38°C. In one word: Moscow.

          Blah, blah, blah – quit being such a damn wimp!

          The high today in my city is 97 °F and guess what: I get on my e-bike instead of in my car anyway! It is really not even slightly as big of a deal as you’re trying to make it out to be.
