EV Safety Benefits — Crumple Zones, Rollover Results, Vehicle Control
In this section of our report “The EV Safety Advantage,” we roll through a handful of clear EV safety benefits, which help to explain electric cars’ better performance in the case of accidents and subsequent insurance claims. We also throw in more safety ratings and charts.
Electric & Hybrid Cars Have Better IIHS Safety Ratings Than Gasmobiles
Earlier this year, we published a free report on EV safety, The EV Safety Advantage. As we approach the end of the year, we’re publishing sections of that report as articles here on CleanTechnica.
