Study results raise concerns about electric vehicle dangers
A new report indicates that electric vehicles are more prone to pedestrian incidents than their counterparts. A report by the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health has found that electric vehicles are more prone to pedestrian incidents than their counterparts. The study found that pedestrian collisions were twice as likely with electric or hybrid vehicles as they were with gas or diesel-powered vehicles. The risk to pedestrians is even greater in urban environments. As more drivers use electric vehicles, there have been concerns about lithium batteries, which have been found to pose a greater risk due to heat from the batteries. The farming community also has concerns about their lack of staying power for agricultural work. There are now over 100,000 electric vehicles registered in the Land of Lincoln.

A new report indicates that electric vehicles are more prone to pedestrian incidents than their counterparts.
A British study found that collisions with pedestrians were twice as likely with electric or hybrid vehicles as they were with gas or diesel-powered vehicles.
Myke Luebbers of the Illinois Freedom Alliance has worked with both propane and electric forklifts.
The report published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health suggests that the risk to pedestrians is even greater in urban environments.
As more Illinois drivers use electric vehicles, other issues with lithium batteries have become more prevalent.
Luebbers explained that crashes become more dangerous when there’s heat from lithium batteries.
Luebbers added that flooding the vehicle with water works better than foam to extinguish the blazes.
The farming community also has concerns with electric vehicles. Luebbers said the batteries have a lack of staying power for agricultural work.
According to the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, there are now more than 100,000 electric vehicles registered in the Land of Lincoln.
