Nebraska tests suggest U.S. highways are not ready for widespread EV use
New results from a crash test using an electric 2022 Rivian R1T pickup truck raise more questions whether significant upgrades are needed to prepare the nation’s highways for rapidly increasing numbers of electric vehicles. The July 1 test was the fourth electric vehicle crash test conducted by the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln since September 2023. The tests aim to determine whether commonly used highway guardrails and traffic barriers can reduce the risk of injury and death when an electric vehicle leaves the road.
