Q
do electric vehicles weigh more
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Electric vehicles (EVs) typically weigh more than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts due to the mass of their batteries. While an average gasoline car might weigh around 3,000 to 4,000 pounds, EVs can exceed this, sometimes reaching up to 5,000 pounds or more, depending on battery size. For instance, a mid-sized EV battery can weigh around 1,000 pounds alone. This significant weight differential arises because EV batteries must store substantial electrical energy to ensure a competitive driving range. However, advancements in battery technology are focused on increasing energy density, which could reduce future EV weights. Despite the increased weight, EVs benefit from a lower center of gravity, enhancing stability and handling.
