Audi e-tron battery pack is seen ejecting during a crash
The battery pack of an Audi e-tron is seen being ejected from the electric SUV in a crash caught on video in British Columbia this week.
Electric vehicles are starting to become the highest safety-rated vehicles tested by agencies around the world as automakers are starting to understand how to take advantage of things like their lower center of gravity enabled by the battery pack.
But there’s still a lot to learn about the safety of electric vehicles, and this new accident in British Columbia this week is highlighting that.
A Toyota sedan collided with an Audi e-tron electric SUV at an intersection in Richmond, British Columbia, on Tuesday.
Cpl. Dennis Hwang, Richmond RCMP spokesperson, told Richmond News that the battery pack of the electric vehicle “ejected” on impact:
Normally, we would have doubts about such a statement, but there’s a video of the accident where you can clearly see the SUV spinning from the impact and the battery flying in the other direction:The battery pack of the Audi, an EV, was ejected from the vehicle and combusted.
