Studying in the United States: What Happened to E-Autos?
By Jennifer Klein, Washington
Researchers in America have recently concluded that electric vehicles (EVs) can sometimes move guardrails significantly during accidents.
This revelation aims to raise awareness of the risks associated with electric cars on the road. That’s just what we need—a car that not only rides the road but redecorates it while it’s at it!
It’s like a traveling art installation gone rogue!
Electric Cars vs. Conventional Cars: The Great Guardrail Debate
The findings show that electric vehicles might cause more movement of road barriers than traditional gasoline vehicles. It’s an interesting predicament; are we really protecting drivers or just giving them a free ride to the nearest repair shop?
Cody Stolle, Chief Research Director at ZDFheute, rolled out the tapes on a study that looks alarming at first glance. When those zippy electric cars hit the roads and the occasional guardrail, scientists are left pondering, “Are we grossly underestimating the consequences of our silent assassins?”
The Tests: EVs Having a Heavy Say on Road Safety
Since autumn 2023, researchers in Lincoln have tested electric vehicles like the Rivian pick-up and the Tesla Model 3.
In one amusing yet alarming test, the electric pick-up knocked over a steel guardrail. I guess it wanted to show it’s not just a car, but a bulldozer in disguise!
Almost makes you wish for a big sign that reads, “Caution: You may encounter a rogue truck.”
“We believe that electric vehicles have huge safety advantages over gasoline vehicles…”
– Cody Stolle
But wait! Compared to their combustion counterparts, EVs are noticeably heavier!
And if you’ve ever snorted at the weight of electric cars, then you’ll be chortling as we realize that today’s average car weighs more than our neighbor’s dog!
Or that trunk we all wish was less of a boat anchor.
The Global Implications: Can We Adapt?
The study leads us to ask: are current road systems prepared for this cavalcade of heavy electric vehicles?
Researchers suggest it’s time for an infrastructure upgrade—because if the cars are getting heavier, so should the barriers, or we could be in for a slapstick gag that ends poorly.
The message is clear: if we’re marching towards a future of electric vehicles without suitable guardrails, we may well be hedging our bets on disaster.
Surely nobody wants to be the unfortunate soul pulled over for a comedy of errors involving pushing concrete blocks and motorists who misjudge their might!
Conclusion: Road Safety in the Age of E-Autos
As electric vehicles carve out their niche on the highways of America—and internationally—the implications extend beyond what’s under the hood.
There’s a call to action for authorities to rethink road safety measures in light of this heavy new trend.
We can’t risk having road signs become part of a car’s ‘collateral beauty’—not if we hope to avoid a scene from a slapstick comedy film.
So remember, folks: if you’re driving an electric vehicle, keep your hands on the wheel and an eye on the guardrails—who knows when they might decide to switch sides!

Not sure about the road boundaries and the listrik?
A worrying result, because in the USA such concrete blocks are usually used as median strips on highways or to secure construction sites.
Since autumn 2023, the scientists in Lincoln have carried out several tests with two different electric cars, the pick-up from the US manufacturer Rivian and the Tesla Model 3. In one of the test runs, for example, the electric pick-up broke through a steel guardrail . Del Tesla Kompornya adalah glaiche guardrail dan drove under Hinduisme.

The results of the crash tests also show the weight of the electric cars, and scientists say that electric cars are significantly more on the scale than comparable combustion engines.
While there is a trend towards heavier vehicles in many vehicles, electric vehicles are generally significantly heavier than their petrol-powered counterparts.

Based on the results of the research, the scientists want to ensure that road barriers are adapted to the increasing number of electric cars at an early stage.
This ensures that concrete barriers are pushed onto construction workers. In short: the streets should become safer.
