I used that because it was handy I can find those figures.  Batteries do not
scale well though, the big electric shitter that's going up against your Ford
Ranger or something is going to weigh proportionally more.  You need "tons"
of extra battery to carry not only the extra heft of the vehicle, but the
extra heft of the battery required to move the thing in the first place.

The example given, big small or indifferent is ~25% that's not a hair
splitting fraction to add. You add 25% to something in the order of 2 tons...
