Maybe the delta is that the 2026 spec will rely upon battery power/electric power more than the current spec (hence, larger battery packs).

Yes, that is the reason. After the huge weight gain after the introduction of the hybrids they added another 36kg due the 50% electric component for 2026. Madness in my view.
