Fans of “trains” find many arguments for their favorite self-propelled “toy”. However, few motorists stop to think about the hidden, but very serious danger that the neighborhood poses
About 10 years ago, electric cars were for the most part only of interest to very wealthy citizens who “turned on” all kinds of innovations. And Tesla reigned supreme in the market. Now in Russia you can buy electric cars from more than a dozen European, American, Japanese, and most importantly, Chinese brands. At a relatively affordable price.
Because of this, a meeting with an “electric train” on the road has long since turned from an exotic into a completely ordinary phenomenon. According to Alexey Eremchuk, head of the Tesla Club company in Moscow, the pace of the creation of infrastructure for electric vehicles in Russia suggests that in a few years it will be no less convenient to use them than a traditional car with an internal combustion engine. Which will lead to a significant increase in the number of such vehicles on the road and, as a result, accidents with their participation.
At the same time, we recall that the safety of the occupants of the interior of an electric car is higher than that of their counterparts in a car with an internal combustion engine. Because the “greens” don’t have a huge engine right in front of the driver: the electric motors are placed at the bottom, near the wheels. As a result, drivers of an electric car avoid the risk of getting a cylinder block in the face in a frontal collision. In addition, the huge battery “train” is located in the bottom of the vehicle. In addition, designers are trying to protect it from damage during an accident – for example, by placing it in a titanium “armour”.
The battery, together with this type of protection, forms a kind of “safety cage” for passengers, who absorb the blow in the event of an accident. Largely because of this, the interior of the “trains” was not damaged after the accident. But this is bad news for the occupants of an internal combustion engine vehicle that an electric vehicle will run into. The total energy of the collision will have to be extinguished mainly by the body of a classic design. The huge and durable battery of the “electric train”, ceteris paribus, will crush the power structure of a car with an internal combustion engine like a shell.
That is, the safety of passengers of electric transport in the event of an accident turns into more serious injuries for their counterparts of an ordinary car. In addition, no matter how structurally protected the battery of the electric train is, there is still a risk of damage to the battery in the event of an accident. And when the lithium content of the battery comes into contact with oxygen in the air or water, an uncontrolled reaction begins, accompanied by the release of a huge amount of heat. There is no point in putting out burning lithium with standard fire extinguishers. It is for this reason that a battery fire is so dangerous and savage.
There is only one conclusion from all of the above: God forbid you get into an accident with an electric car in a car with an internal combustion engine. He will crush you or burn you in the infernal flame of his melting battery. Therefore, in the flow of cars, it is better to stay away from electric vehicles – you will be safer.
