SAFETY:

EVs must go through the same difficult/strict/high quality safety testing and meet the same safety standards needed for ordinary vehicles sold in the United States as well as EV-clearly stated/particular standards for limiting chemical spillage from electrical storage devices, securing electrical storage devices during a crash, and the framework from the high-voltage system to prevent electric shock. Also, EVs tend to have a lower centre than ordinary vehicles, making them less likely to roll over and often improving ride quality.

One safety concern within EVs is their silent operation; walking people may be less likely to hear an EV than an ordinary vehicle. The National Highway Traffic Safety Management is studying ways to deal with this issue, such as needing EVs to give off able to be heard sounds at low speeds. This option is already available on many EVs, including the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf. In any case, you should use extra caution while driving yours.

MAINTENANCE:

Because of their different technologies, all-electric vehicles and gas- electric vehicles have different types of needed maintenance. Both will require scheduled maintenance to their electrical systems, which can include the electrical storage device, electrical motor, and connected electronics. However, because of electricity-generating braking, brake systems on EVs usually last longer than on ordinary vehicles.

In general, AEVs require less maintenance than ordinary vehicles because there are usually fewer fluids to change and far fewer moving parts. In contrast, because PHEVs have gasoline engines, maintenance needed things for this system are just like those in ordinary vehicles.
