Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

That doesn't account for safety of other car. That's the safety of people IN the car and pedestrians. And again, you're doing things like put a tesla 3 in the "small car" category. Size? Sure. By weight? Hell no. You're not properly accounting for those factors.
Force = Mass X Acceleration. A larger vehicle will always exert more force. Plow a Tesla 3 into a Civic and see who lives. It's literally why buses don't have seatbelts. The bus will always tank whatever hits it. All you're doing is building tanks and acting like that's somehow a safety improvement.
It's not "EV vehicles are safer" like you're trying to paint it. It's "heavier vehicles are harder to damage". This isn't an EV issue. It's basic physics that you're trying to spin into pro-EV propaganda. By the same logic you should buy a F650.
But heavier vehicles also have more crashes because they can't turn or brake.
