These are America’s safest EVs
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tested seven 2025-model electric vehicles and found that five performed well in crash tests, but none received a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ award. The Ford F-150 Lightning, the best-selling electric pickup truck in the US, performed poorly in protecting rear occupants during a moderate overlap front crash test.
The IIHS tested seven 2025-model electric vehicles in September 2025. The vehicles tested included the BMW i4, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Nissan Ariya, Tesla Cybertruck, Tesla Model 3, Volkswagen ID.Buzz, and Ford F-150 Lightning. Five of the seven vehicles performed well in crash tests. However, the Ford F-150 Lightning struggled to protect rear passengers. The IIHS tests vehicles in eight crash scenarios and rates them Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Poor. To earn a Top Safety Pick designation, a vehicle must score Good in four categories and Acceptable in the remaining three.
