Of course.
However, they are not safe right now in a variety of different ways.
Just like gasoline cars it has taken 100 years or so to get them to the safety levels that they are now.
For example, in the 1950s there were no seat belt laws and I came across on freeways and streets often horrific scenes where people had been thrown from cars in death convulsions with heads banging on the ground from the death convulsions. I don't wish any one of you to see this and these kinds of things still haunt me to this day along with head injury deaths from motorcycles where an old lady now in shock turned in front of a young motorcyclist and his head hit the edge of the roof in a t bone of the cars driver side and he is dead laying there.
So, from my point of view there are three areas or so where electric cars are not really that safe.
1. the Batteries (lithium Ion?) are catching fire like the video of the Tesla 3.
2. the occupants of Electric cars have no protection from the Electrical corona generated from powerful electric motors.
3. and in Hybrids you have double trouble: once when it is generated by a usually gasoline engine and again when the power is used through electric motors. So, you get twice the exposure to Electrical corona as an all electric vehicle.
4. all electrical vehicles that I know of are much easier to hack than most other cars. If you have a Fob instead of a key this just multiplies the problem about 10 fold.
These are just some of my concerns regarding Electric cars and trucks. And so it is true that Tesla being the forerunner of really great electric vehicles may have just gone too far too fast and it is going to take 10 to 50 years for people and technologies to catch up to where they have gone so fast where people are actually going to be safe in these things.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
