There's no physical law of nature that requires EVs to be heavier than ICE equivalents.

As battery tech improves they'll get lighter and they're predicted to beat ICE on this metric in a couple of years

Battery energy density reaching that of petrol in a couple of years is unlikely to nigh impossible unless you’ll be switching to hydrogen fuel cells and even then I’m not entirely sure about that due to the energy density per unit of volume being drastically lower.
