You're both widely overestimating the fire risk. It shouldn't even be a consideration from the consumer perspective. The color of the car probably matters more.

- mrguyorama 4y agoI watch videos and documentaries about plane crashes all the time, and yet I am not afraid of flying because I understand the safety culture and statistics of the industry. If you are afraid of your car, regardless of motive power source, bursting into flames without warning, then you shouldn't own a car, because tens of thousands of people die in car crashes every year, and for most of them they experienced no warning and could not have forseen their death.
- GiorgioG 4y ago> If you are afraid of your car... I'm not afraid of MY car. I'm afraid of owning a car where I'm literally sitting on top of the battery. Say what you will about ICE's, but my gas tank is comparatively far away from me in comparison to EVs under-chassis battery designs. Design a better battery where that removes this risk and I'll consider it, until then I'm sticking to my ICE.
