    ⅓ increase or so. Pretty big difference IMO.

    My compact SUV Volvo EX40 has a 2,100+ kg curb weight.

    Imagine this though: all the cars in the world switch from gas to electric, and on average add 30% of weight to every vehicle (which does seem like the normal increase). Wouldn’t that equate to adding, like, “X number of 18-wheelers” to the roads, wear and tear wise? Or does it not work like that?
