Are gas used cars lighter than electric cars?

Electric cars are generally heavier than gas-powered cars. This is because electric cars require heavy batteries to store electricity, while gasoline-powered vehicles can use lighter fuel. Additionally, many electric vehicles have heavy electric motors and other components. However there are differences between electric cars. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which rely solely on electricity, tend to be heavier than hybrid vehicles, which combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor and battery.
