True! If only grandma wouldn't insist on bringing 250kg of weapons and ammunition with her everywhere I'd get much better range in my EV, but alas this is the USA.

250kg grandma = ~20 small dogs

250kg weapons = ~20 small dogs

Instead of technological advancements of EV motors, we can immediately use existing pharmaceutical tech (Ozempic, GLP-1) to immediately deliver weight reduction to cars. However, this will be immediately offset by the increase in weight of weapons carried, thanks to Jevons Paradox.

Quite frankly I would like to hang out with that grandma. Load it up, I’ll take the range hit.
