- gnfargbl 5y ago...so the probability of a fire in an ICE car is about 0.04% per year? Assuming fires are randomly distributed (which is a bad assumption, granted) then over a lifetime of car ownership, the average individual has about a one in fifty chance of experiencing a vehicle fire. That is very much higher than I would have expected.
