10 Safest Electric Vehicles for Families This Year
With more space, improved driving range on a single charge and fewer maintenance worries, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a more popular choice for families. But safety matters more than ever and not all EVs are created equal. Trending Now: For You: A recent study by The Texas Law Dog set out to rank the safest options for families in 2025. Each EV was evaluated for its fatal crash rate per 1,000 vehicles, how many child seats it can handle and how safe those seats are judged to be once installed, per Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rankings. Volume and passenger capacity also weighed in, because a family car that's safe but cramped doesn't cut it. The result is a safety score out of 100. Below are the ten of the safest EVs with the highest scores. Safety score: 91.32 Average price: $61,695 Crashes per 1000 cars: 0.7554 Child Seat Safety Score: Good+ The Q7 leads with a high safety score and a low crash rate. At $61,695, it's not the cheapest option, but it delivers on every metric that counts. Check Out: Safety score: 86.64 Average price: $48,485 Crashes per 1000 cars: 1.6183 Child Seat Safety Score: Good+ The Pilot has strong child seat compatibility and a Good+ rating across all four available seat positions. Its higher crash rate of 1.6 per 1,000 cars pulls the score down slightly, but the $48,485 price point makes it a practical option. Safety score: 85.76 Average price: $42,765 Crashes per 1000 cars: 0.7883 Child Seat Safety Score: Good+ The Ascent hits a balance between safety and value. At $42,765, it's the most affordable in the top three, while still seating seven and offering 153.50 cubic feet of room. Safety score: 84.11 Average price: $41,406 Crashes per 1000 cars: 0.1057 Child Seat Safety Score: Acceptable The Palisade offers one of the lowest crash rates in the top five, at just 0.11 per 1,000 vehicles. Three child seats fit, although the child seat safety score is only Acceptable. Safety score: 83.28 Average price: $46,725 Crashes per 1000 cars: 0.9081 Child Seat Safety Score: Good+ The QX60 balances safety and luxury, seating seven with 140.60 cubic feet of space. Safety score: 80.46 Average price: $45,700 Crashes per 1000 cars: 2.8139 Child Seat Safety Score: Good+ The most spacious EV on the list at 163.60 cubic feet, the Odyssey also has the highest crash rate, at 2.8 per 1,000. Safety score: 80.32 Average price: $38,220 Crashes per 1000 cars: 0.0061 Child Seat Safety Score: Good+ This compact option has the lowest crash rate of all the EVs on the list, at 0.0061 per 1,000 vehicles. Safety score: 79.08 Average price: $48,490 Crashes per 1000 cars: 0.0482 Child Seat Safety Score: Acceptable While the Model Y remains a safe pick, Tesla's broader reputation has taken a hit as Musk's political behavior draws criticism, according to CNN — raising concerns about long-term brand stability and resale value. Safety score: 78.96 Average price: $64,275 Crashes per 1000 cars: 1.6217 Child Seat Safety Score: Good+ This premium SUV costs $64,275 and seats seven, fitting three child seats with a Good+ child seat safety score. Safety score: 77.63 Average price: $46,195 Crashes per 1000 cars: 0.0255 Child Seat Safety Score: Good The X1 rounds out the list with a safety score of 77.63 and the second lowest crash rate at 0.0255 per 1,000.
