The Road Damage Calculator groups generic vehicle types by axle load for comparison. Vehicle power source is irrelevant to the calculation. EVs are 10-15% heavier than equivalent ICE, not 100%. The poster compared an EV and ICE from separate groups, a meaningless comparison. https://roaddamagecalculator.com/how-it-works https://thedriven.io/2024/05/03/are-evs-really-much-heavier-than-their-ice-equivalents/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1811769819198267436

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
