The article provides an overview of the safety of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, which is a key factor in their widespread adoption and consumer confidence, as well as safety standards for motor vehicles. Recent research and crash test results show that these cars are not inferior in safety to traditional models with internal combustion engines, and in some respects even surpass them. Electric vehicles have a low center of gravity due to the location of the batteries, which increases their stability and reduces the risk of tipping over. The absence of an internal combustion engine in the front of the body provides a larger deformation zone and better protection for passengers. Hybrid cars combine the advantages of conventional cars with innovative solutions, but they share common risks associated with both the fuel system and batteries. The main safety problem of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles is the possibility of "thermal acceleration" of batteries and the difficulty of disconnecting them, which requires the use of special technologies and training of emergency personnel. In general, they provide a high level of active, passive, and post-emergency safety that meets international standards.

Keywords: safety of electric vehicles, active and passive safety, environmental safety, electromagnetic safety, hybrid, lithium-ion batteries, thermal acceleration.
