Original abstract
Abstract Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly being adopted as part of the global shift toward sustainable transport. Although they provide environmental and technological advantages, their safety impacts compared to internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) remain unclear. This paper uses a Social Justice lens to examine how the EV transition shapes equity and safety outcomes. Through a systematic literature review, 18 studies were identified from 2761 records, analysing crash risk, injury severity, and related harms across population groups and spatial contexts. Findings indicate that while EVs may offer certain safety gains, they also pose greater risks to vulnerable road users (e.g., pedestrians, cyclists, and low-income communities) due to design features such as increased weight, rapid acceleration, and silent operation, alongside unequal access to safe infrastructure. Marginalised populations face higher exposure and limited benefits. Addressing these inequities requires inclusive safety metrics, improved data collection, and equitable infrastructure planning to prevent reinforcing transport injustice.
