Are electric cars safe?

Yes, all cars (fuel and electric) must meet the same legal safety standards. The cars are designed and built to ensure a high level of safety for drivers and maintain battery integrity in case of accidents. In fact, looking at the top ten vehicles rated by Euro NCAP, we see that most of the vehicles listed are electric! Although fires regularly make the news, research in several countries shows that electric cars have no higher risk of fires. Moreover, electric technology will also change the way we drive. The EV powertrain features encourage a smoother, more relaxed driving style.
