At least with ICE there is a theory that having a denser vehicle can help extend the glide portion of a pulse and glide, and ICE become more efficient with more load.

When every other consideration is made, one will discover that there is an optimum inertia for any particular BEV vehicle, from which its momentum will optimize the amount of regen that can be harvested during deceleration.
Lighter you lose.
Heavier you lose
