Even including the resources consumed in battery production, on average, Canadian EVs have up to 77% lower emissions than conventional cars

    Entirely dependent on the model. A base model RWD EV sedan (Model 3, Ioniq 6) weighs less than 2 tons.

    If you have a moronmobile like a Hummer, sure.

      The lightest model 3 weighs about 3900lbs. Which is going to be like 1000lbs on any similarly sized ICE car

        Would you consider a BMW 3 Series a similar sized ICE car?

        According to BMW they range from 3536-4008 lbs.
