The only car I can think of that was available with an ICE, as a PHEV and pure EV was the mark 7 Golf. A quick google shows the following as weights for the respective models:
e-Golf 1,585 Kgs
Golf GTE 1,615 Kgs
Golf 1.5 TSi DSG 1,294 Kgs
So pure EV seems lighter than a hybrid, but quite a bit heavier than ICE. Having said that, there must be compromises in engineering a platform for all three that didn’t exist in a pure EV design. But an iD3 weighs around 1,800 Kgs (and has a range 3 times that of the e-Golf!)
