We thought we’d got used to the idea of electric cars carrying some pretty big batteries. On a tour of the Porsche Taycan factory a few years ago we were wowed at the thought of its 93 kWH pack weighing 630 kg – 43% more than the entire weight of a Caterham 170R.
Then along came the Ford F-150 Lighting with its 131 kWH pack, followed by the four-tonne Hummer EV’s gargantuan 212 kWH battery and we thought, surely, the game was up.
