EVs are much heavier due to battery weight

That's not inherently true. It's most true for grossly oversized and inefficient EVs. Which is unfortunately most of what they build today.

I mean I dunno about you but where I live it gets really fucking hot. And sometimes it rains. So something with a cabin and air conditioning is mandatory. I'm a big fan of electric micro-cars.

Rain, snow, forest fires, from -25°C to +38°C. In one word: Moscow.

Blah, blah, blah -- quit being such a damn wimp!

The high today in my city is 97 °F and guess what: I get on my e-bike instead of in my car anyway! It is really not even slightly as big of a deal as you're trying to make it out to be.
