How can electric cars be regulated?
I’ve been thinking about buying my first electric car, but looking into the laws and regulations surrounding them is pretty confusing. Is it truly safe to drive an electric car, and are they regulated in the same way that gas-powered cars are?

Electric cars
are regulated by many of the same laws that regulate the production of gas-powered vehicles. In order to make it onto American roadways, motor vehicles must meet a certain set of standards as determined by various federal agencies including safety ratings
, emissions testing
, and more. The
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
and EPA
are the primary agencies that regulate the automotive industry.If you want to save money on
