What safety features are different in an electric car?
Theres no real change to the look or shape of the electric car because of the different safety features but first of all a car needs a lot of power. No matter what it is that powers it, like diesel or electricity or even hydrogen, if there is that much power needed there is always going to be safety concerns. Electric cars have many circuit breakers in place that shut off the flow of electricity when they detect a collision or a short circuit or even if water gets into the system. In the event of a crash the high voltage wires are usually coloured bright orange so fire fighters know where they are. Nobody should be any more frightened of getting into an all-electric car than an ICE car or be scare of going out driving in the rain as theyre completely safe, theyre just different, and thats the one thing that scares people most.
