While subject to the same strain of other vehicles, the cars did not show significant critical, especially to the batteries and the electrical circuit. Even in the most violent shock there were no leakage of energy from the batteries or dangerous lightning, thanks to the efficiency of devices that will automatically interrupt the power supply in case of danger.
"The results achieved by the technology research on electric cars - said ICA President, Enrico Gelpi - demonstrate the great attention to the safety of the car manufacturers besides the sustainability of future mobility. The five-star EuroNCAP that today characterize many cars on the market, from small cars to large saloons, are a goal already achieved in 2010 by a number of hybrid cars and are certainly not an unattainable goal for electric vehicles. "
"As a board member of EuroNCAP - Gelpi added - 's ACI is promoting new crash tests to assess in particular the active safety of vehicles .
overcome the last test also Juke Nissan, Hyundai ix20 the and Mitsubishi ASX, all with the highest score of 5 stars. Closes the series with a rating of 3 stars the Dacia Duster .
