* Weight of the average Small family car (C) (same class as the Nissan Leaf): 1,365 kg ^[1]
* Weight of the Nissan Leaf: 1,560 kg ^[2]
Difference: 1,560-1,365 = 195 kg.
So about two washing machines in difference... :) And that's by giving you credit by comparing the heaviest average within the same car class. The lightest one yields a three washing machine diff.
I think we differ in our perception of "small" and "mid-size" car.
But even so, 195 kg is the weight of a driver and passenger. If we consider this to be a decisive factor in pollution, we had better also consider the obesity epidemic as a factor in tire wear. ^_^
One possible explanation is that I live in a different market. In any case, the weight comparisons are the real data to use. The Nissan LEAF is heavier than some cars, but much lighter than the most popular ICE-V choices being made by consumers.
