All the mathematics will be required to have an actual look at what's discussed.
Without the mathematics we cannot proceed.
I examined the testing cycles and did the math and came up with the same conclusion that there is no "goldilocks" mass in a BEV. The evidence I see points to lighter as being more efficient overall, even though it is true that less kinetic energy can be recuperated from regen making it appear to be less efficient when it really isn't.
