        Yes and no. Electric vehicles are good, though it’s not exactly a safety feature to have exposed wiring.

          Vancouver BC has had exposed trolley wires for many decades, no major mishaps. Sometimes drivers have to jump out and reconnect the charge arms, which puts them in the road for half a minute.

          Can you point out the actual, demonstrated risks?

          Those wires are high enough to avoid problems. Unless one tries to, that is. OTOH EV might burn (though with newer types of batteries less and less).
