“#Watch a VW ID.3 get smashed up in the name of safety<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n When electric cars started to become popular many people were concerned about the safety of driving whilst sat atop high-voltage batteries. They needn\u2019t have worried, though, because modern cars EV or not are pretty well-equipped to handle impacts.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that while EVs might contain lots of potentially dangerous electronics, there are safety systems in place to prevent these circuits from causing a danger to people.<\/span> All high voltage lines are sheathed in bright orange cable housing too. If you\u2019ve ever looked under an EV and seen orange cables, that\u2019s why; it\u2019s best not to mess around with them.<\/p>\n

Check out this video from car safety testers Euro NCAP as they smash a Volkswagen ID.3 into all manner of objects to put it to the test. It\u2019s a pretty good example of how a well-designed car, by today\u2019s standards, performs in standard crash testing.
