Spicey,
The battery weighs more than a full tank of gas, but the electric motor weighs less than a gasoline engine. You can also remove the gas punp, oil pump, oil cooler, transmission, crank shaft, and a few other things that add weight to a gas car. What you want to do is compare the weight of the whole car, not parts of it.
And yes sports cars are light, and to be clear, we're not talking about sports cars. An EV should not be compared to a sports car anyway. Sports cars, especially exotic ones, don't really have much of an impact on the environment because people drive them less often than regular cars.
To really compare apples to apples, we should only be talking about "daily" cars, like the cars you would take to the grocery store, etc, or whatever car a typical family would drive the most often for typical trips.
