I tend to disagree.  Lithium ion batteries are fairly light weight, and a quick comparison of a Tesla Model S to a Hyundai Genesis sedan (yeah, I'm a Hyundai man) shows only a difference of 261 kg (base model) to 399 kg (high end).  Compare to an SUV and the differences are smaller to non-existent.
