You're comparing a single EV that's light for it's class with a single gas car that's heavy for it's class.

Why not compare the 3 series (1800kg) with the electric 3 series (2200kg)? Or compare the Corsa (1094kg) with the electric Corsa-e (1455kg)

Ok.

  Nissan Juke - 3000 lbs  
  Honda Civic - 3000 lbs  
  Nissan Leaf - 3300-3400 lbs
  Honda e - 3400 lbs
  Chevy Bolt - 3600 lbs  
  Volkswagen ID.3 - 4000+ lbs
Both of your comparisons suffer from the fact that neither of those BEVs are built on a platform designed from the ground up for a BEV, but rather an ICE platform with a battery shoe-horned into it.
