EVs are about 20% heavier than the equivalent gas powered car and offer the same utility.
Full sized pickup trucks are 50-100% heavier than cars, are the most common vehicle in most of the US, and is “ usually just carrying 80kg of spongy meat.”. They are usually exactly the same levels of utility, plus don’t have any environmental benefits
If you were really concerned about higher vehicle weight, trucks are much worse so let’s start there
Trucks are typically carrying tons of goods (except those awful LTL cases where the 50’ trailer is carrying one pallet)
Cars (mostly SUVs these days) are usually just carrying 80kg of spongy meat.
Those are not even the same levels of utility

Yeah, it also applies there. It’s just a fact - heavier vehicles have more tire wear.
