And it&#8217;s true, a lot of attention is being paid to potential hazards. When asking about safety, one must also soberly ask <strong>&#8220;safe compared to what&#8221;?<\/strong> Because there is no such thing as absolute safety &#8211; not even in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcs-engineering.de\/hochvolttechnik-emobility\/\">high-voltage safety<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the media perception, it is also very easy to get the impression of insecurity &#8211; press reports with electric vehicles on fire on highways captivate us and enjoy a lot of attention. So electric vehicles are not entirely harmless. However, the question of comparison still remains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are internal combustion engines so safe &#8211; with a tank full of a liquid, highly flammable chemical that evaporates so much at summer temperatures that explosive gas mixtures can form in the air?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The media attention is also simply due to the novelty content, combustion engines (in principle already designed for fire, the name comes not by chance) burn really well &#8211; but we have become accustomed to it, that is simply not worth a detailed headline in national media (more).  <strong>In Germany alone, there are around 15,000 vehicle fires per year, which is more than 40 car fires involving combustion vehicles per day!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>E-mobility will not solve all problems overnight, nor will electric vehicles automatically become safer in every respect due to their type of drive. But not more unsafe either. In fact, a recent <strong>study by Dekra showed<\/strong> that current electric vehicle manufacturers have the <strong>technology around the battery and electrical wiring<\/strong> under control. In addition, the experience gained from traffic accidents in recent decades is used from the outset when drawing up safety concepts &#8211; whether by automatically disconnecting the battery when an airbag is triggered or by including the rescue separation point for firefighters and emergency services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Electric vehicles are thus also a real alternative in terms of safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15288,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-unkategorisiert"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
