What does an EV battery weigh?
The total weight for all the batteries on a Tesla is 1000-1100 pounds.
Even though the total weight of the battery pack is 1000 pounds. It is made up of a bunch of cells grouped together.
My understanding is that it is similar to taking a few hundred “D” batteries and wiring them altogether in series. The problem is that IF one of those single D batteries overcharges and overheats it can start a fire. Once one goes, the rest of them will catch and it is impossible to put the fire out.
The fact that they weigh so much also makes your tires wear out much faster than a ICE car of the same size.
For example a Toyota Camry weighs 3300-3500 pounds
a Tesla 3 weighs 3800-4000 pounds
a Tesla Model S weighs 4500-4700 pounds
These are all mid sized sedans. Yet the EVs weigh 500-1200 pounds more. The bigger the battery, the more power, the faster they go with an EV.
LOL.
Neither of you clowns read the article.
Batter-eeezl, plural. Teslas have thousands of 18650s, which look like an overgrown AA. They're scattered all through the floor pan to distribute the mass and keep center of gravity low.
Collectively they weigh 800-1000 lbs.
