data from an unknown reliability source has EVs about 8% heavier.

2020 Tesla Model 3 = 1584 kg curb weight [1]

2019 BMW 320i = 1470 kg curb weight [2]

I could believe 10%. It's not an easy apples to apples comparison, of course, because even a basic RWD Model 3 is considerably higher performance than a base model 320i. We may just have to accept that, however, since it's too easy to make EVs a lot faster than ICEVs at the same price point.
