the entire story of a zero emissions car is a fairy tale
You will never own an an electric car. You the current reader personally might, you might already even own one, but statistically we cannot replace every car...
fairytale fabricated by tech grifters [...] the energy density of petrol is still so much higher than a modern Lithium-ion battery, how can electric vehicles be viable competitors? Simple, they cheat. [...] we’ve been gaslit [...] extra weight makes them far more dangerous in a crash and it means that you’re wasting a lot of energy [...] doubling the weight does 16x the damage to the roads

extra weight makes them far more dangerous in a crash
If this would be really a concern to many people we should also rule out SUVs and the like. They weigh often over 2t. A Tesla Model 3 weighs 1.7-1.9t.
Yes, but RTFM!
Volvo S60 has a curb weight of 1,614 kg. The Tesla Model S that breaks 400 miles has a curb weight of 2,261 kg, over half a ton heavier, more than a Range Rover.
It should be noted, that the Model S is also a larger vehicle. The Model 3 is much closer in weight, lenght and offers also 5 seats and a similar amount of trunk space. But yes, in general, electric vehicles are heavier thanks to the weight of the battery. roughly ~300kg extra. (yes, the pack weighs even more but it also serves a structural purpose in many EVs.
more than a Range Rover.
Really depends on the model. A base model Evoque yes, a Defender is pretty much in the same weight class.
