The benefits of owning an electric car

EVs have to pass the same safety tests as gas-powered vehicles.

EVs have to pass the same safety tests as gas-powered vehicles, so you can be assured that they are completely safe to operate. In fact many EVs score higher in crash test safety ratings, Tesla Model X for example has a perfect score. A widely-circulating concern about EV safety revolves around the potential for fire, but in reality, EVs are far less likely to catch fire than gas cars. On average, gas cars will catch fire at the approximate rate of 1 fire every 20 million miles driven. For EVs, the rate is 1 fire per 120 million miles driven. That’s 80% less if you’re taking notes.
