Does the GMC Sierra EV's heavy battery weigh down performance

[EVWander]

The GMC Sierra EV features a large battery pack estimated to be over 200 kWh which adds considerably to its total weight of around 8,532 lbs for the 4WT trim. Do you think the weight of the battery drags down performance?

Yes, the weight impacts agility and efficiency, but the instant torque and power compensate, delivering strong acceleration and capability despite the heft.
