Electric cars are considered the future of the automotive industry, at least in the near future. Israel is one of the countries where the highest penetration rates in the world for streetcars are already registered.
But there is a heavy shadow behind the success of these vehicles, which research bodies are beginning to point out: their heavy weight, and its effect on the safety of other cars on the road. The weight differences between the three sales queens of the Israeli market in recent years clearly express the problem. An electric vehicle such as the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Skoda Aniac, the occupants of the light vehicle are 3 times more likely to suffer serious injuries.
