The Safety of EVs Though relatively early in development, EVs are generally safer than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. Gas-powered cars need fuel, which is subject to explosions because of its flammability. These battery-powered cars have fewer parts , reducing the odds that something goes wrong.

An electric vehicle is a type of vehicle that uses one or more electric motors for propulsion instead of an internal combustion engine that runs on fossil fuels like gasoline or diesel. Electric vehicles are powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries or obtained from other sources such as hydrogen fuel cells.
