Once you’ve been EV, you never go back. (I don’t have sufficient creativity!)
whoever wrote this advertisement, havent seen a burning car battery
Basically, you require a special section in the car safety assessment documents, listing random people exlamations - when they see a fire burning?
Wow. /S
What do they understand safe? Is a remote kill switch safe?
Yeah, for the same reason SUVs are “safer”. They weigh a fuck ton more than the average car due to the batteries. Of course a tank is gonna do better in a crash against a small sedan. But what about vs pedestrians? What about the people in that sedan?
This isn’t “safer for everyone”. This is “safer for me while disregarding everyone else”.
The main reason EVs are safer in a crash is due to a low center of gravity which makes them extremely unlikely to rollover. Trucks and SUVs only make people feel safer but because of the much higher rollover risk they are actually generally less safe than most cars.
Scoring for the crash test also calculates safety for road users and the drivers assistant systems.

That doesn’t account for safety of other car. That’s the safety of people IN the car and pedestrians. And again, you’re doing things like put a tesla 3 in the “small car” category. Size? Sure. By weight? Hell no. You’re not properly accounting for those factors.
Force = Mass X Acceleration. A larger vehicle will always exert more force. Plow a Tesla 3 into a Civic and see who lives. It’s literally why buses don’t have seatbelts. The bus will always tank whatever hits it. All you’re doing is building tanks and acting like that’s somehow a safety improvement.
It’s not “EV vehicles are safer” like you’re trying to paint it. It’s “heavier vehicles are harder to damage”. This isn’t an EV issue. It’s basic physics that you’re trying to spin into pro-EV propaganda. By the same logic you should buy a F650.
Not having 50L of volatile liquid in a tank might be helping: A battery might catch fire but it doesn’t splash.
Being able to distribute mechanical components out of the traditional engine bay too: no longerdirectly inferring of the passenger compartment.
A battery might catch fire, sure, but the volatile liquid can be extinguished, unlike any EV battery currently on the market.
