Might be one of those cases where different markets have different rules about what counts as "weight". Like a tank of gas. Or oil. Or blinker fluid. It pops up in motorcycles too, OEMs will drain the fluids to make headline weight before chonking back up.
Food for thought: How does the Stingray stack up at our test track?

Alternative facts.
If we apply a Chevy Weight Correction Factor of 11.3% (based on the quoted US weight for the Stingray versus the measured US weight for the Stingray) then we can expect the E-Ray to come in at 4330 lbs for the coupe.
I think the E-Ray is cool. As Tadge said, it's not the top "performance" model but it's neat in its own right.
Chevy did say the track drive mode will optimize how the electric motor and its regen work. Probably fast-discharging with lots of assist, and fast-charging given the battery's small size. Excited to drive one, sometime.

I will be using the alternative facts that Chevy uses, when I see my doc about. my weight
Good luck with that :)
Chevy calls their weight figure "dry weight", meaning no fluids, while CandD measures weight with all fluids full.

I knew that C+D was a wet weight, which is the only repeatable (functional) number. They might be goofballs sometimes, but they've got a pretty solid technical basis when testing.
Chebby's just plain cheating. Also, 11.3% of the car's mass is fluids?!?

I giggle like a little girl, everytime you kick Chebby with your Canadian feet. love it.

You forgot to consider the weight of the electrons, silly. =P
