Safe EV Claims

The International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) claims carriage of electric vehicles (EVs) is safe. Lars Lange, IUMI Secretary General, explains: “Our paper draws on a body of scientific research which demonstrates that fires in battery EVs are not more dangerous than fires in conventional vehicles, nor are they more frequent. Although statistics continue to be gathered, they currently estimate that, in general, there are fewer fires from EVs compared with fires from conventional vehicles when driven over the same distance.”
