We investigated some of the most common questions and concerns about the dangers of owning and driving an EV and how they compare to internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) in terms of safety. Useful terms: Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV). Here’s what we discovered. THE BOTTOM LINE.

Regardless, once the $7,500 tax credit is accounted for, and the much lower maintenance costs, these should be about the same as buying a gas car, only the fuel will be less than a dollar a gallon equivalent.

High-voltage DC current is more dangerous and harder to interrupt than the comparatively sedate 48 volts used in smaller vehicles. When engineers specify components that aren’t automotive-rated, they are then forced to spend time in extensive testing to make sure their vehicles don’t catch fire. Geoff Schwartz: Yes.

Instead, while you recharge your battery after a long day at work, your new electric car could be recharging as well. The Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf will lead the way, with others manufacturers including Ford, Mitsubishi, Toyota, and Tesla planning to introduce their electric cars sometime between 2011 and 2012.

You can fill it up at the gas station, and you can plug it in to any 120-volt outlet. People routinely pay more for such options as sunroofs, automatic transmissions, V8 engines and leather seats. This means the more maintenance-free electrical systems of PHEVs offset the initial higher cost of batteries.
