Electric vehicles are very safe, with many of them earning top safety awards. Because there is no engine, the front of the car is more suitable for absorbing an impact. The low center of gravity provided by the battery pack makes EVs stable and less likely to roll over. Any vehicle can catch on fire, but EVs are actually around 100x less likely to catch fire. They are more challenging to put out than ICE vehicle fires, but since they are less likely to happen the overall issue of fire is much greater with ICE vehicles.
