Battery-Electric Vehicles Safer than Gas Vehicles
Electric vehicles stand out as a safer alternative to their fossil fuel-powered counterparts, Battery News reports.
Comparative data consistently indicates that electric vehicles experience fewer fire incidents when compared to traditional internal combustion engine cars.
While isolated incidents of electric car fires do occur, they are significantly less common considering the growing number of electric vehicles on the road. The design and location of EV batteries, the absence of highly flammable liquids, and reduced heat generation contribute to the lower fire risk in electric cars.
