In a crash with a pedestrian I don't see how having greater momentum would make much difference compared to an ICE car. In both cases the mass of the car is so much more than the mass of the pedestrian that the difference in what they do to the pedestrian should be small. For example, an ICE Ford F-150 that weighs 4500 pounds hitting a 200 pound pedestrian at 50 mph would nearly instantly accelerate that pedestrian to 47.9 mph. Replace that ICE F-150 with a 6500 F-150 Lightning and the pedestrian gets nearly instantly accelerated to 48.5 mph. Similarly, a 3800 pound ICE Ford Mustang would accelerate them to 47.5, whereas a 4800 pound EV Mustang would accelerate them to 48.0. For a 100 pound pedestrian, it would be 48.9 mph and 49.2 mph for the ICE and EV F-150 respectively. For the ICE and EV Mustang it would be 48.7 mph and 49.0 mph respectively. Low speed collisions are also similar. At 10 mph the ICE and EV Mustangs accelerate the 100 pound pedestrian to 9.7 mph and 9.8 mph respectively, and the 200 pound pedestrian to 9.5 mph and 9.6 mph respectively. For the both the ICE and EV F-150 the 100 pound pedestrian accelerates to 9.8 mph (there is a difference, but it doesn't show up at the precision I'm using). For the 200 pound pedestrian it is 9.6 mph for the ICE and 9.7 mph for the EV.
