    The logical follow on from this is that EV owners should have cheaper car insurance.

    Yet I see a future where EVs will account for a rise in T-bone accidents. You are saved from red light runners more often because ICE have a slower acceleration. Now imagine everyone has an EV with massive acceleration from a stop. We will see many more people being hit by red light runners.

      Are you saying the victims increased takeoff speed will increase their chance to be struck by someone running a red light?

      My understanding is that most the time someone runs a red light, they didnt stop first and then accelerate at top speed through it before it turned green. I could be wrong about that though
