Not sure about all the downvotes here, seems like big/heavy car = better. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/413018/laws-of-physics-pe...

Big has benefits for the occupants in terms of larger crumple zones etc, heavy does not. What’s important is jerk and acceleration not your final velocity.

Electric cars actually weigh more due to batteries, but that’s not particularly helpful.
