The fleet of EVs is very different from the fleet of light duty ICE vehicle. You can't do a 1:1 comparison and have anything useful come out of it. There is no EV equivalent of a rusted out 1995 S10 with a gas tank held in with a ratchet strap for anyone to crash because EVs haven't been around that long.
I suspect once you control for vehicle age the difference is marginal. Statistically nobody is burning to death in late model luxury sedans (Tesla included) because they're well enough designed that practically nobody is getting trapped in the vehicle in the first place.
