I am not sure where weight came into the discussion, but since it has been mentioned, here is the manufacturers' data for weight and range:
........car..........weight........range...
i3-BEV 60Ah : 2,886 lbs .. 84 miles
i3-BEV 94Ah : 2,961 lbs 114 miles
i3-REX 94Ah : 3,234 lbs 180 miles
Chevy Bolt....: 3,563 lbs 238 miles
As cheap as Bolt is, I'm not least bit tempted to drive a Chevy.
Tesla Model 3, on the other hand, temptation is thy name....
... and I really don't care what its weight is going to be (range is north of 215 miles).
