They Look Cool but How Safe Are They?


I have been warning about these embedded handles for a while.  As you may know, I spent 10+ years as a volunteer advanced EMT where I responded to a number of accidents.  Handles that completely fold inside the door are dangerous because they don’t present themselves and don’t allow any leverage.  But more than that with Electric vehicles there are lithium-ion batteries which if damaged catch fire almost 100% of the time and these cars have high currents running through the vehicle.  All of these create a big disadvantage for the Emergency Medical Services responding to save the drivers and passengers.
