Over the summer (and to much media fanfare), Elon Musk’s Tesla rolled out its Model 3 vehicle. More recently, Tesla rolled out a semi-truck design that stunned the automotive world.
Many car-watchers believe the moment was profound. The Golden Age of Electric Vehicles may be upon us, but like any new age dawns, we need to be mindful of any new hazards that may exist.
Perhaps we’re witnessing a true automotive industry paradigm shift—a tipping point on the way for the dominance of electric vehicles. The first Model 3 batch came off the assembly line in late July, and more than 500,000 customers already have placed deposits for a vehicle. At $35,000 per unit, Elon Musk called the Model 3 the best car for its price point, either electric or gasoline.
This step toward a mass market seems beneficial for the environment and our future.
Electric cars promise to have distinct advantages–but do they also pose hidden dangers?
What are the risks futurists are ignoring?
Despite the benefits of better security, longer lasting vehicles, and improved fuel economy, electric vehicles are not without their disadvantages:
Electric vehicles are projected to be a boon to the American economy and the environment. These vehicles carry a lot of distinct advantages, making the idea of a mass market share appealing.
As we’ve outlined, they’re not without their dangers. The government must work to standardize safety features and tackle these problems head-on if we’re to enjoy safer roads. Electric cars stand to benefit from rigorous safety testing and standardization.
If you or anyone you know has been injured by an electric vehicle, you may want to reach out to an attorney familiar with this new industry so that you can know your rights.
Electrocution and other hazards exist with the newer vehicles, the frontier is constantly changing. There are many advantages to owning these electric vehicles, however, be careful of the disadvantages as well.
