I would expect that lighter motor components would potentially allow weight reduction in load bearing components. Not an advantage for SUV-type cars, but for light and ultralight vehicles it could add up to more weight saving and longer ranges.

You still have to handle the torque of the smaller motor. 30kg is maybe 2% of the vehicle weight.
