"Cars have a weight problem. Consider the Mini, designed to save precious fuel
during rationing; it has ballooned in size. It is not alone. Cars have got
bigger and bigger, with the rise of the SUV only accelerating the trend.
Electric cars might look the same (for now) but they have one important
difference: a heavy battery.
Our EV mythbusters series has taken a wild ride through the common (but often
misinformed) criticisms of electric cars, from range anxiety to carbon
emissions, mining and air pollution. This final instalment asks: will electric
cars prove to be too heavy for our roads and infrastructure?"
