American scientists from Northwestern University (NEU) in Boston evaluated the risks of electric shock from an electric car or other electric vehicle. The research was published in the official gazette Web site NEU.
According to Sanjeev Mukherjee, professor of chemistry at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Near East University, popular electric car models are equipped with reliable protection that turns off the batteries in case of accidents and other incidents.
Even if the electric machine is completely submerged under water, it must remain safe from electric shock for both the people inside and the rescuers who come to help. However, this is only valid if the battery compartment of the electric vehicle remains hermetically sealed and this seal is not broken as a result of an accident.
The opposite is the case with electric scooters and electric bikes, where the battery does not have good protection against damage and can cause a person an electric shock if it gets wet outside in the rain.
Professor Mukherjee added that emergency workers need more training to rescue people from electric vehicles. Further training should include skills in locating the electric car battery, assessing its condition, and preventing actions that could damage the battery.
