...yer right. What I meant to say is that most of the increase in fuel mileage on fossil fuel vehicles is the reduction of weight of vehicle and the addition of an electric engine and battery to a fossil fuel vehicle adds weight, therefore decreases fuel efficiency.

Most of the gains in fuel economy are the results of reducing the weight of vehicles

That is not the case. When they add the batteries EVs are heavier than gas cars.

I have also been reading articles about how parking structures will have to be re-built or at least reduced in capacity if EVs ever catch on.
