How many of those are due to the ICE? In my experience most vehicle fires are electrical in nature, whether it's an EV or not (the 12v system in an ICE car can still cause a fire).
- ReGenGen 5y agoEthanol gasoline degrades older vehicle's rubber fuel lines, This has lead to many fuel fires.

Electrical issues, accidental fires in the passenger compartment (cigarettes/joints igniting trash in the footwell), and even arson are all far more common than fuel system issues.
