Q
are electric vehicles heavy

    I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Electric vehicles (EVs) tend to be heavier than their internal combustion engine counterparts, mainly due to the weight of the lithium-ion batteries used to power them. A typical electric car's battery pack can weigh anywhere from 300 kg (661 lbs) to over 600 kg (1,322 lbs), substantially adding to the vehicle's total weight.
This increased mass can affect handling and braking distances, but it also provides a lower center of gravity which can improve stability. Manufacturers are continually working on developing lighter materials and more energy-dense batteries to reduce overall EV weight, aiming to match the performance and efficiency of gasoline cars while offering the benefits of electric propulsion.

    @IndustrialTechie: Dedicated to exploring emerging technologies in the industrial field. Let's talk about the future of industry!
There is no doubt that electric cars are typically heavier than gasoline cars. because of the battery weight. Even so. the weight of the battery is usually distributed more evenly throughout the vehicle. which can actually improve handling and stability. Electric vehicles are currently being improved in terms of battery technology and weight reductions in the future.
