Curb weight 1634kg

This was the standout spec that might make me consider one.

I've been looking mainly at small hatchbacks/SUVs, and they all seem to weigh in at over 1800kg. And many are over 2000kg. Excluding Aptera...

    What makes that spec a priority for you?

    Tires? General handling? Crash safety for others?

    +1

    Weight is everything. Removing it makes almost literally every aspect of a car better, and it’s usually a terrible negative for EVs.

    Interesting! I must say I never considered it. My kia soul EV was heavy but handled very well. Loved that thing.

    Oh yeah, its more than that. Low weight helps acceleration, braking (so safety), handling, range, wear on every component, and most of all, cost. The same sized tires will need less pressure, wear much less, and grip harder. If the car is lighter, you don't need as stiff a chassis, nor as much braking to lock the wheels, less battery, motor, which means you can take even more weight off the car... You get where I'm going.

    Racecars are fast because they are light, not because they have big engines and expensive bodies. Little 1500lb cars can lap a $3 million 1500hp (and quite heavy, because of all the stuff in it) Bugatti around a track.

    Heavy cars can handle OK, but the cost is big.
