A lot of EVs are heavier than SUVs... but don't let facts get in the way of your crusade.

EVs tend to be about 10% heavier, like for like.

Instead of assuming bad faith and resorting to insults, simply make the point. EVs can cause road damage too, yes.

I would reply that pound for pound EVs create far fewer issues in other categories than its weight-equivalent ICE vehicle, and that to an extent that weight is justified for the urban environment far more than a 2025 Chevy Duramax.
