There are strict rules and regulations which guide the safety of the vehicles we drive and by law vehicles have to meet minimum safety standards. These tests need to prove passenger and pedestrian safety in a range of collision situations, and for electric vehicles that includes ensuring the battery and voltage cables do not create undue risk. Beyond statutory standards of safety for cars there are New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) ratings, providing each car with an out of 5 stars performance level against the Euro NCAP crash tests which consider adult protection, child protection, pedestrian protection and safety assist measures. All electric cars carry an NCAP rating so you can compare with confidence using this standardised approach to vehicle safety. You can find out more at www.euroncap.com or on individual vehicle manufacturer websites. The dedicated charge points that are recommended for charging your electric vehicle have undergone rigorous safety testing and are installed by qualified electricians following industry best practice for installation of charging equipment. They are safe to use, with those mounted outside being suitable for use, no matter what the weather.
