I also advocate for smaller cars, but batteries are heavy as fuck. The same car just swapping the motor with a battery will be considerably heavier.

Battery technology is impoving everyday, newer cars could easily have smaller batteries

And they will. Why have a 600 mile battery? Your bladder won't last that long on the highway. Have a 300-400 mile battery and cut the weight.
