Oh of course, it's not ONLY about the weight of the fuel storage. In ICE cars that's a fairly modest part of it. The various engines have far more to do with it.
But on BEVs, the batteries are a MUCH bigger part of it. The Mach-e battery pack weights 900-1200 lbs. That's 25% of the entire GVW. Much bigger impact.
You're entirely correct about it being about efficiency though (Wh/mi, or miles/kWh). How many miles they can go on a kWh of electricity. The motors, the aerodynamics, the weight, etc all impact that.
