will emergency services have extra training for electric vehicle accidents ?

Yes, I am sure.

And just what will happen if there is an accident? It depends upon the storage. If it were an ultra-capacitor with no chemical storage perhaps there might be a big spark. Perhaps batteries eventually will be designed to simply ground out harmlessly in the event of an accident? That would be fairly disappointing for the Hollywood movie. There is nothing like a gas tank explosion... even if it is not real.

Suppose instead it was flywheel storage we were talking about. I am sure Hollywood would have bits of car exploding all over the place, but the reality would also be more like the difference between Hollywood accidents and most real accidents. Rather disappointing without a lot of imagination.

And then there might be some form of storage batteries. Lithium is a favored chemistry today. This might make some interesting pyrotechnics if the car runs off a bridge and goes into the water. But Hollywood would be fairly disappointed if we were looking at a Zinc-Air battery. It might eventually corrode.

And what again if instead of on board storage we eventually use electrified roadways. Then the pyrotechnic guys at Hollywood would really have to wrack their brains to get some excitement as once the vehicle left the track there would essentially be no energy to power the vehicle.

The point is that there are a lot of things we can worry about. But worrying about a technology that is essentially in a developmental stage may be a bit pointless except for story tellers.

We are not shocked because the Model T Ford did not have seat belts or air bags. Somehow generations of car drivers survived to pass on their genes without child seats. Yes, we have developed better ways of doing things and so we will with electric vehicles as well. As problems come up they will be handled and some people will complain about the restrictions to their freedoms as a result.

The regulation in this became replaced approximately ten years in the past. It was once the case that ensures have been only valid in case you used the main broker community, yet you do no longer ought to try this now. you will have the vehicle serviced via whoever you elect. the only enforceable assure situations are that the vehicle must be serviced in accordance to the producer's time table, and that the provider e book is stamped on the excellent durations; each and all the areas, oil and ingredients that are used must be precisely as particular interior the vehicle proprietor's instruction manual. this suggests which you're allowed to apply "third occasion" kind spares and lubricants in case you prefer to. yet they must meet the comparable engineering standards (BS or DIN or ASA) because of the fact the producer's very own products. for example: in the adventure that your chosen storage used an oil of a different engineering familiar (whether it became the comparable viscosity) to the only particular because of the fact it became greater inexpensive, and then the engine progressed a fault, Vauxhall ought to refuse to restoration it under assure - whether the fault became no longer rapidly related to the oil. at the instant maximum substantial sellers provider expenses are very aggressive with those of the greater first rate of the self reliant garages. there'll constantly be the equivalent of the cheap "railway arch" workshops, a number of whom do solid artwork. yet once you have a one twelve months old vehicle then it fairly is silly to purpose and shop a rather small aamountof funds and risk wiping out your assure protection. Servicing fee is not any doubt one in each and every of the lliabilities you need to settle for once you purchase new automobiles.

I would think so, they have training for everything else, think there would be a course on ev once people start driving them.
