Are EVs safer than ICE vehicles?

Would love to know your thoughts as to why or why not? Not only active safety, but passive safety also. Active safety is before the crash. Passive safety is during/after the crash.

EV car servicing

Do all car servicing providers offer servicing for electric vehicles now across Australia? How does an electric car service differ to your typical ICE vehicle service? Should I expect it be more expensive while electric vehicles are not widely used?
