    EV’s already weigh more than most of their ICE equivalents. I don’t think we want even heavier chemistries in them. You could reduce the battery capacity to keep the weight down but then it’s a double hit to range.

    Heck a Model S weighs more than a fair number of F150’s on the road.

    Model S: 4,323-4,960 lbs

    F150: 4,021-5,540 lbs
