Electric Vehicles: Accidents
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what data her department holds on the number of road traffic collisions involving both electric vehicles and pedestrians.
Answered by Keir Mather
The number of road traffic collisions involving both battery electric vehicles and pedestrians in Great Britain, for the last 5 years is shown in the table below:
Year | Collisions |
2020 | 59 |
2021 | 139 |
2022 | 292 |
2023 | 448 |
2024 | 591 |
Data and statistics on personal injury road collisions and casualties in Great Britain are based on data reported to the Department by police forces via the STATS19 data collection system. Data on vehicle propulsion are sourced from DVLA vehicle registration figures.
