Which electric cars are the safest: they successfully passed all crash tests

With the development of technology and improved design, electric vehicles have become safer. Drivers now more often prefer these vehicles to take care of their families and the environment.

However, first of all, you need to pay attention to safety when buying a car. TopSpeed has compiled a list of the safest electric cars.

5th place - 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV

The Chevrolet Bolt EV has received an excellent safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with an overall rating of 5 stars. The car is equipped with safety technologies, including automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning, pedestrian warning, and more.

4th place - 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge

This is one of the safest electric vehicles on the market. NHTSA's safety rating is 5 stars overall. The XC90 Recharge is equipped with advanced safety features, including forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning. The automatic emergency braking system detects everything from other vehicles to pedestrians, animals, bicycles and children at play.

Another interesting feature of the car is the cross-traffic warning with automatic braking, which will help you move out of a tight parking space.

3rd place - 2022 Tesla Model Y

The risk of a car rollover is 7.90%, but this is still less than the average among other cars and is not considered a significant safety issue. NHTSA's safety rating is 5 stars overall.

2nd place - 2022 Tesla Model 3

The Model 3 has a rigid, collision-resistant body and an advanced set of safety systems, including automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. Thanks to the placement of the battery packs, the low center of gravity of the Model 3 ensures stability and control in the event of an accident.

1st place - 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge

The Volvo XC60 Recharge is equipped with all the essential safety features: 6 airbags, three-point seat belts and advanced technology. The technologies help you avoid collisions by warning you of hazards and reacting with braking if necessary. Unfortunately, the NHTSA has not yet evaluated the car.
