Then your electric car is exceptional. A mustang weighs about 3,600 pounds. Which is heavy to be sure.

But lighter than almost all electric cars. Certainly not a ton heavier.

Tesla model 3: 3900 pounds Tesla model S: 4700 pounds Chevy bolt: 3600 pounds Nissan Leaf: 3900 pounds Volkswagen ID4: 4600 pounds

EVs are heavy. I’d be interested in your 2600 pound EV.

2024 Toyota Camry - 3595lbs

So is the mustang heavy? Compared to what?

Mustang is a big heavy GT style car. It has heavy engines, a wide body, big tires, etc.

A 2-door mini cooper is 2600 pounds. A Nissan Versa is about the same.

For larger cars, the Elantra and Civic are both less than 3000 pounds.

A Mitsubishi I-MiEV at 2268 LB (3329 LB GVWR - 661 LB vehicle capacity weight) isn't a ton lighter than a Ford Mustang, but it's on the lighter side for an EV.
