How much an electric vehicle (EV) battery weighs depends greatly on the vehicle and model. On average, however, EV batteries weigh around 454 kg (1,000 pounds), although some can weigh as much as 900 kg (2,000 pounds). As a rule of thumb, the heavier an EV battery, the more energy it can store and the higher the power it can deliver. Although this relationship is not always straightforward.
