According to a study by insurer Axa, electric cars are involved in 50% more traffic accidents than their petrol and diesel counterparts. The high number of accidents has nothing to do with the technology, but everything to do with the driving behavior of the drivers. The main cause of traffic accidents with electric vehicles is the inappropriate driving behavior of the drivers, mainly fast and sharp acceleration that surprises drivers, especially those new to the cars, and leads to accidents. The response of electric motors is incomparably faster than that of the classic combustion engines using petrol or diesel, especially with the more powerful models. Adjusting the driving style is therefore advised: take into account the much more agile acceleration of the cars, handle the accelerator with more care, and keep your distance.
