There are tons of different reasons a vehicle might crash, many of which have very little to do with what kind of vehicle is actually being driven. Even still, a lot of detractors believe that EVs are out there crashing more often than conventional cars, but the truth is actually quite the opposite. According to a study by the Highway Loss Data Institute, insurance claims for electric vehicles occur roughly 20% less frequently than those for conventional cars, which indicates that they actually crash less often.
