Have any pure electric cars been crash tested?

Have any of the pure electric cars been crash tested yet? If so, what were the results?

Yes they have, and most have received the maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating.

The Renault Zoe failed to score a star and the Dacia Spring only scored one star in the latest round of testing, however.

You can view ratings for all hybrid and electric vehicles on the Euro NCAP website.
