How much do electric cars weigh compared to a diesel car?
I've been hearing that electric cars are pretty heavy, but how do they compare in weight to a diesel car?
Chanice Boyd · Updated on

Thanks to the massive batteries that power electric cars, they’ve now surpassed diesel cars to become the new heavyweight champions. In order to drive, EVs must be able to store incredible amounts of energy. These super battery packs provide electric cars with more power for more extended-range abilities.
Engine and battery comparison
- Average gas car engine 330lbs
- Diesel engine 700lbs
- Electric car battery 1,000lbs
Regardless of what type of car you drive, one thing you should never have to question is if you’re paying the right price for car insurance.
