Watch as this smart car manhandles an EV in a crash. Then watch what a Ford Ranger does to a "neighborhood" pickup. You wouldn't want to be that driver!

  • I think you're missing the point. It's very relevant to compare these vehicles because many people look at buying these NEVs thinking they make good, inexpensive options for getting great fuel economy. The comparison is to show how unsafe those vehicles are when compared to the most diminutive of road-worthy vehicles.

    In fact, your thinking that the smart is a glorified golf car (which it's not) only reinforces the crash test comparison. Too many people think these NEVs are road-safe.

  • Per the audio in the clip, the smart beat the hell out of the NEV with no occupant injury reported (via crash-test dummies).

  • Thats the only thing you can hit with a Smart and not die. Well, that and a pedestrian.

  • How is that piece of shit that should belong in the garden ''the most common electric vehicles''. Pathetic news report, if you want to die in a crash, hop in any car that's older than 1997!

  • Every other country on the planet allows them on the roads. But, ah yes, the US's median car size is significantly larger than the rest of the world. Conundrum?

  • thumbs up if you saw the vette

  • HAHA!!! Yes. What a great video of all those shitty little eco crapboxes getting hammered. I'm going to watch it again.

  • Yeah, let's solve everything with more government power! How's that working with DRUGS, FUCKTARD?

  • Ok let's put motorcycles up against regular cars. OMG they are unsafe! Ban them from the roads!

    People know what they are getting when they buy these NEVs just like riders know what they are getting when they buy motorcycles.

  • 0:01 You really need a TV to say Safety...?

  • it's unfair between the smart and the chrysler EV cuz the chrysler EV got no doors

  • think smart get smart drive smart :D
