> petrol tank is smaller tucked in usually somewhere in the back of the car I think most car fires are not from the fuel tank leaking, but instead from a short somewhere in its electric system, or from a leaking hose spraying flammable liquid (fuel, oil, etc) onto a hot surface (like the motor). Compared with an ICE vehicle, an EV should have less hoses with flammable fluids, but more parts on its electric system.
