A current study by Texas Law Dog set up to evaluate the safest options for families in 2025. Each EV was rated for its fatal crash rate per 1,000 vehicles, how many child seats it can and how securely this seats are measured after installation, per insurance institute for motorway safety (IIHS) rankings. The volume and passenger capacity also weighed because a safe but cramped family car does not cut it. The result is a security assessment of 100.

Below you will find the ten of the safest EVs with the highest scores.

• Accidents per 1000 cars: 0.7554

• Safety assessment for child seats: Good+

The Q7 leads with a high security value and a low crash rate. At 61,695 US dollars it is not the cheapest option, but it provides every metric that counts.
