The percentage of fires to the number of fossil fuel cars on the road is much higher than for EV's.....20 times higher according to Swedish research
And another review says " that the fire risk for petrol and diesel vehicles is between 20 and 80 times greater than that for EVs. This significant difference highlights the relative safety of electric vehicles in terms of fire hazards.
But it is true that a battery fire is harder to extinguish. But if you read the link that Norman posted you will see how small a problem it is.
Social media myths, scaremongering and the general misinformation about Electric Vehicles is tiresome.
Yes of course I am an owner of one but it gives me the advantage of knowing something about the subject.
