The weight difference between an ICE SUV and an electric SUV doesn’t make any meaningful difference. It doesn’t matter whether you get run over by two tons of steel or three tons. The primary factor for the increased injury rate is the high front that impacts the body and pulls the cyclist under the car, inflicting body trauma instead of breaking legs as other cars would. Statistics for accidents with pedestrians look equally bleak. And given the reported issues that automated driving and collision avoidance systems have with cyclists, I’m not particularly hopeful.
