Okay, thanks, now I'm on the same page.
Of course, some BEVs have no ICE ditto, like Tesla, Lucid, Drako, Rivian, Canoo, etc., but for the legacy carmakers, all the BEV variants are heavier than their ICE stablemates.
Hyundai/KIA sell 'em in multiple flavors: ICE, Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and BEV.
Four different weights.
Engineering-wise, the additional mass of the pure electrics doesn't appear to be any liability.
That's the discussion.
