Let’s get something straight, here: EVs are very safe. In Europe, they are put through exactly the same rigorous Euro NCAP crash tests as petrol and diesel cars, with the results published for all to see. In fact, because battery packs are very strong, rigid structures, a lot of EVs actually fair better than piston-engine equivalents in an accident. If we listed every electric car that has a five star Euro NCAP rating here, this would be a very long article.
