Who is safer, fuel cars or electric vehicles?

There are advantages and disadvantages to the safety of electric and fuel vehicles, with electric vehicles being safer overall. 

Firstly, from the perspective of battery safety, the battery type, charging and discharging system, high-voltage power failure and collision of pure electric vehicles are the main triggers of fire and spontaneous combustion. Compared to lithium iron phosphate batteries, lithium ternary batteries are less thermally stable and are prone to be damaged in collisions, triggering short circuits and thermal runaway, which can lead to fires. However, the risk of spontaneous combustion in EVs has been significantly reduced with the advancement of battery technology. The risk of spontaneous combustion in EVs is also higher than that of lithium iron phosphate batteries.

In terms of crash safety, both EVs and fuel vehicles need to pass rigorous crash tests to ensure occupant safety.

The low centre of gravity design and flexible structure of EVs can better disperse the impact force during a collision and protect passengers. Fuel vehicles, on the other hand, excel in crash protection due to their body frames and passive safety configurations. 

In addition, EVs have significant advantages in terms of intelligent driver assistance systems and environmental friendliness. EVs are often equipped with active safety systems such as automatic braking and lane assist, which can prevent potential dangers in advance. Moreover, the zero-emission feature of EVs reduces air pollution, which is more beneficial to the environment and human health.

In summary, although electric vehicles have some challenges in terms of battery safety and the risk of spontaneous combustion, their overall safety has surpassed that of fuel vehicles through technological advances and stringent safety standards. At the same time, the advantages of electric vehicles in terms of smart driving and environmental friendliness make them a safer choice
