The 23 Most Dangerous Cars On The Road

23 most dangerous cars,

#5 Honda CR-V Hybrid (4.6x)*
#6 Tesla Model Y (3.7x)*
#12 Toyota Corolla Hybrid (2.6x)*
#20 Toyota Prius (2.1x)*
#21 Tesla Model S (2.0x)*

* Times greater than overall average of fatality rate per miles driven.

The automaker with most occupant fatalities per miles driven:
#1 Tesla

Obviously these statistics are open to a lot of speculation since there are many reasons why a certain car may end up so high on the fatality list. For an example a car that parents tend to buy for their teenagers could end up high on the list not necessarily due to being built less safe but rather is more likely driven less safe.

Gavin Newsom says that Tesla will be excluded from the upcoming California EV credits to replace the federal tax credits being eliminated by Trump.

I have had practically zero capacity loss in my 8.79-kWh Panasonic NMC prismatic-cell 2021 Prius Prime Limited battery so far in four years and over 36,000 miles, still getting a BEV range of 40 miles on a full charge. I should state that I do baby my battery though—never charging it until I am ready to drive, driving gently, keeping it at no more than 70% SOC when the car is not driven, etc.

This study confirms that even regular people see no more than about a 10% capacity loss in general.
