It doesn't help that the first EVs most manufacturers are focusing on are their large SUVs and trucks. The Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3 both certainly aren't small cars in a general sense, but in the land of EVs they are. Both weigh under 4000 pounds which is less than the best selling vehicle in North America, the F150.

Totally agree, but to act like it's only trucks pushing this weight is silly. The electric leaf is nearly 5k lbs and it's a very small EV.

The 2024 leaf is 3509lbs according to the Nissan USA website.

3500-3900 depends on what you get for options. Add in people and their shit and you're pushing 5k (curb weight is 4,900bs)

You keep misusing the term curb weight.

From teh googs: Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include the weight of any passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.

If that's the fact then it absolutely is 4k+

There's a big difference between pushing the limit and significantly exceeding the limit though.

One gets you across the bridge. One gets you a nice dip in the river.
