That's a good point. I often see people obsessed about EVs claiming their motors are smaller and require a much lower maintenance than any ICE, but they seem to forget about the weight penalty and energy density of batteries still lower than conventional fuels. Had it been effectively about saving natural resources, I'm sure most of those EVs would be based into something inherently more efficient such as those kei-cars.
