    You can’t make an overly specific limit or car makers would adjust the specs just enough to pass the check.

    If they had an exception or higher weight for hybrids, then SUVs like the Jeep renegade “hybrid” with their tiny 800 wh batteries would abuse the higher weight limit

      True but you can’t deny by my example that people who invested in a more environmental friendly car are are punished for it.
