Just the 25.7kwh battery pack will add 300lbs minimum. Going by standard kwh/lbs in EV industry. Then you add the electric motor, on board charger, ecu’s, sensors, wiring, etc.

Remember the new hybrid C63 now weighs 4600lbs, while downsizing to a 4-cylinder and having only a 6.1kwh battery pack. Yes using a different hybrid setup, but it is also a smaller car.
