Mercedes GLC diesel 2115 KG empty, EQC 2545 KG empty (Admittedly a tiny bit longer than the GLC, otherwise based on the same platform, same width) Show me which EV with a properly sized battery is lighter than its equivalent ICE counterpart. I haven’t spun my tires once. Means you aren’t driving, you’re commuting.
