I take your point, but EVs ARE getting lighter. The current Tesla Model 3 4WD Long Range is 1847kg and the 2WD version 1735kg - not a huge amount more than the AMG C43. I expect the next gen Model 3 (Project Highland) will be even lighter.

Depends somewhat on where the energy comes from. Mine comes mainly from the sun in summer and cheap overnight wind during winter. Where do fossil fuels come from?
