With increasing popularity of electric cars come increasing questions also about their reliability and safety. Through extensive research, machine tests and continuous design upgrades, the electric cars available today offer safe driving options for in-city driving.

Safety of the Car
Contrary to popular belief, electric cars undergo the same tests for safety, crashes, etc. as regular petrol and diesel cars. In fact, the battery of an electric car is usually placed below the floor on the car to lower the centre of gravity which offers better handling capacity to the car making it safe to drive.

Electric cars do not carry any combustible fuel like petrol and diesel that catch fire during explosions, and hence are safer in crash and collision circumstances.

A main contractor, fusible links and a circuit breaker act as safety disconnects for the electric car. During collisions and crashes, the impact sensors that respond by deploying the safety airbags also simultaneously cut off the battery from any electrical supply, thus decreasing the danger to the drivers responding to the collision.

In any other situation causing electric current surges, or if tools are mistakenly dropped across the terminals of the battery, manual disarming of the battery pack and the entire circuit can be done by using the safety disconnects.

Safety while Charging
A home charging point that has its own circuit and is professionally installed is the safest way to charge an electric car. If the socket is external it has to be protected against the rain.

The plug has to be protected too from wear and tear, by disconnecting the electricity before removing the plug from the socket. Before the cable is connected to the point of charging, the charging lead should compulsorily be plugged in to the car.
