19 Dec 2022 | Abstracted from Daily Mail

"British Parking Association (BPA)...wants local authorities to conduct urgent structural surveys...Electric vehicles are heavier predominantly because of the batteries used to power them, and the reinforced framework and suspension needed to accommodate them.

"The best-selling petrol/diesel cars in the UK...weigh between 1.4 and 1.7 tonnes... the Tesla Model Y, weighs 1.6 tonnes...electric Mini weighs the same as a Mini Cooper at 1.3 tonnes."
