According to the safety organisation Euro NCAPEuro NCAP – European New Car Assessment Programme is intended to perform comprehensive, objective and independent safety evaluations of vehicles and to inform the public of the results. More, electric cars passed the test of safety assistants and crash characteristics with the best score of all tested vehicles. Only one of the vehicles that took a top place is a combustion engine.
To determine the best in class, the weighted sum of the scores in each of the four assessment areas is calculated: Adult Occupants, Children, Pedestrians and Safety Assist.
This sum serves as the basis for comparing the vehicles. Vehicles qualify for the title of best in class based only on their rating with standard safety equipment. Additional ratings based on optional equipment are excluded.
Best in class
– Tesla Model S (executive cars)
– Hyundai Ioniq 6 (large family cars)
– Wey Coffee 01 (large SUV)
– Tesla Model S (electric car)
– Ora Funky Cat (small family car / compact car)
– Tesla Model Y (compact SUV)
Euro NCAP’s crash and accident prevention tests support the thesis that electric vehicles are safer than conventional vehicles.
