Funny, I phoned the council not long ago to ask them to do something about
speeding cars in the rural dead end street past my house. They said they would
only do it if someone was killed or injured. I know of other similar events
where people were killed before they changed anything. It's all based on
statistics.
How many of the general population have been electrocuted by electric
cars?

This supposed "electrocution" hazard posed by electric vehicles is an all too
common myth.
First off, commercial EVs have an inertia switch which cuts the main
contractors at the pack. You are in a wreck, the power is automatically cut off
by the inertia switch. The only component with HV is the traction battery
itself.
