Electric vehicles have the problem of being a firefighter's nightmare, lithium-ion batteries are basically fire bombs and when shit finally hits the fan electric cars will be the perfect car bomb. What's more is that cars these days can be hacked and remotely driven.
Now Idk enough about electrical engineering to know if these batteries can be overloaded remotely or if they need manual modification, but even if it's the latter it's just gonna be a 21st Century upgrade of traditional car bombs.
Nevermind how heavy batteries are, electric vehicles are way heavier than their ICE equivalents which makes them way more lethal even if they don't explode. Combine that with the aforementioned ability to remotely operate them, and the way they can accelerate incredibly fast, and you'll be able to bowling ball pedestrians and make the batteries explode through sheer kinetic impact.
