How many watts are in an electric car battery?
I’ve been thinking about getting my first electric car, but I want to know what to except when it comes to electricity use. How many watts of electricity are in an electric car battery?

There has never been a better time to invest in an
electric car
, so congrats if you do decide to make the switch!As far as wattage goes, the capacity of electric cars is measured by kilowatt hours or kHw. One kWh is equal to one thousand watts per hour. Your typical electric car battery can contain anywhere from 24 to 200 kWh depending on the size of the battery and whether you’re driving a hybrid or fully-electric car.
