How safe are electric cars?

With the amount of sensationalist press out there from the anti-EV brigade and press about electric car fires I thought it time we looked into what safety systems there are on EVs. So, in this episode we look into the safety systems associated with an electric car. We do a deep dive into the battery pack and what keeps everything safe during normal operation and when things go bad what components are there to avoid disaster and mitigate the worst case scenarios. We look at what could happen to the electric system in a crash and in other fault conditions and how those systems are designed to keep everyone safe.
