honestly the only major safety issues with EVs is tesla specific and their ultra retarded door handle system. Yes lets take a simple mechanical system that has worked great for 200 years and make it an electric button, then hide the real mechanical release in a spot that you can’t find when panicked and choking to death on smoke. Great job, so futuristic.
Bigger issue overall is fire departments dragging their feet on not having the correct gear/training to handle self sustaining lithium fires. Gasoline is easy to suppress and dilute, lithium not so much, since it’s difficult to get water directly to the cells to cool them below autoignition point.
They already are safer than ICE cars.
Fuck ICE. In every sense of the expression.

Teslas crash more than any other brand. 3/3 last years.

No shit dude the company owner is a coked up idiot who thinks 64-bit glued together utes are the pinnacle of style
that’s because they’re the bmw of ev’s. A disproportionate amount of assholes drive them.
Wait, how? Aren’t they essentially the same except heavier?
one sets itself on fire over and over thousand of times a minute, using the explosive force to spin wheels.
The other doesn’t.
They are dissimilar in this regard.
No but I heard about an electric car burning once, and none of my ice cars have ever combusted, so CLEARLY, electrics are deathtraps
/s
The difference is in what happens if they do catch fire though. ICE fires can be extinguished. Li battery fires are “wait until it burns out”.
It makes a big difference if your car is on a boat.
Or inside your garage. Or a parking deck. Or a repair shop.
