> With the rate at which ICE cars randomly ignite, you'd think they would've banned electric cars already (self ignition for ICE engines is way higher than that of electric cars for some reason). Cars on boats, regardless of fuel type, is just incredibly risky.
ICE cars ignite randomly mostly when the engine is running, which is not the case on ferries. I'd bet self-ignition of ICE cars with stopped engine is more rare than self-ignition of stopped electric cars. And in most cases of ICE fires handheld fire extinguisher is enough to stop the flames...
