EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles safer than gas-powered cars?

Drive Electric

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) uses an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. Because EVs run on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components in ICEVs. Plug-in and fully electric cars operate between 200 and 800 volts.
