    The gains compound a bit too, 20 percent less weight equals proportionally less battery capacity required to shift the now-lighter vehicle from point A to point B.

    So then you can cut the size of the battery while maintaining the same range, and that’s where you start to get significant overall weight and cost savings.

    • Hell just replace the former motor weight with battery and you’ve almost doubled the range. If China ever mass produces solid state batteries, double it again.
