Total weight of new energy vehicle batteries

Jan 02,2025

The total weight of new energy vehicle batteries varies depending on the vehicle model, battery type, and specifications. The following is a general overview based on current information:

1. Weight of small new energy vehicle batteries: For small new energy vehicles that use smaller capacity batteries, such as electric bicycles or lightweight electric vehicles, the weight of their battery packs is usually lighter. For example, the weight of a 36V10ah battery pack is about 12.5kg, while the weight of a 48V20ah battery pack is about 26kg. But these numbers mainly apply to two wheeled electric vehicles, not four-wheel new energy vehicles.

2. Medium and large new energy vehicle battery weight: For medium and large new energy vehicles, such as pure electric vehicles, the battery weight significantly increases. Taking BYD Qin as an example, this model uses lithium iron phosphate batteries with a capacity of 13 kWh and a battery weight of approximately 250kg. And BYD's other model F6 has a battery weight of about 310kg. These numbers indicate that as the size of the car and battery capacity increase, the total weight of the battery will also increase accordingly.

3. Other influencing factors: In addition to the vehicle model and battery capacity, the weight of the battery may also be affected by factors such as battery technology, material selection, and overall vehicle design. For example, some high-end new energy vehicles may adopt more advanced battery technology and lighter materials to reduce battery weight, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency and performance of the vehicle.

The total weight of new energy vehicle batteries is a relatively flexible value that depends on the combined effect of multiple factors. In practical applications, the actual weight of the battery needs to be determined based on the specific vehicle model and battery specifications.
