Electric vehicles are renowned for their exceptional safety standards, incorporating the latest protective features and achieving top safety ratings from independent testing organisations. Advanced battery management systems and cutting-edge safety technology make EVs among the safest vehicles on our roads.
EVs are 19–60 times less likely
to catch fire than petrol cars.
You can charge in rain,
snow, or even wash your
car while plugged in.
Rigorously tested for water resistance, crash protection, and electromagnetic compatibility. The DVSA enforces strict inspection protocols, emergency crews get dedicated EV training, and chargers follow high electrical safety standards. The result? Safer EVs, smarter systems, and greater peace of mind.
With thermal blankets, water immersion, and advanced monitoring to handle them safely. EV fires remain extremely rare, and evolving safety protocols ensure that emergency crews have the tools and training to
