The claim that electric vehicles (EVs) are not as safe as ICE vehicles is unfounded and inaccurate. EVs must adhere to the same stringent safety standards as their ICE counterparts, with additional safeguards specific to their design.(1) All light-duty cars and trucks sold in the U.S., including EVs, are required to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). These standards ensure that vehicles undergo extensive testing to meet critical safety requirements, regardless of their power source.(1)In addition to meeting these general safety standards, EVs undergo further safety testing specifically related to their battery systems. EV battery packs are rigorously tested to ensure they remain safe under various conditions, such as extreme temperatures or collisions.(1) Moreover, EVs are designed with advanced safety features unique to electric powertrains. For instance, many EVs are equipped with systems that automatically shut down the electrical system in the event of a collision or short circuit, further enhancing occupant protection.(1)EV manufacturers also include passive and active safety features comparable to, or even exceeding, those of ICE vehicles. These can include lane assist, emergency braking, and collision avoidance systems.Finally, EVs have a lower center of gravity than ICE vehicles due to the weight and placement of their battery pack, and are much more stable as a result.(2)
