DUEBENDORF, Switzerland - Electric luxury cars and sport utility vehicles may be 40% more likely to cause accidents than their standard engine counterparts, possibly because drivers are still getting used to their quick acceleration, French insurer AXA said.
AXA regularly carries out crash tests for vehicles. This year’s tests, which took place at a disused airport, focused on electric cars. Half of electric car drivers in a survey this year by AXA had to adjust their driving to reflect the new acceleration and braking characteristics. But another AXA survey showed most people do not know how to react if they come across an electric vehicle crash scene.
