Reading comprehension problem? Reread my post. The additional weight of EVs will impact their braking distance. When comparing comparable cars, the EV will weigh more. The rest of stuff in your post no nothing to do with what I said. Try to stay on point.

......Lower center of gravity is why sport cars (even ICE ones) are built as low as possible to the ground. The old Austin Healy is one example of that. Unfortunately speed bumps came along and took an edge away from true sports cars.
