You are correct. The public have been conditioned to believe that EVs catch fire at a high rate even though the statistics show they are 10 to 20 times less likely to catch fire than an ICE. In the UK we had a diesel car burn down a car park recently. People were blaming an EV and calling for bans. Then two separate videos showed it was a diesel car (again, just like Liverpool, Stavanger). There was recently a car ship on fire recently. Again they tried to blame an EV. Later the ship was recovered and the salvage team found all the EVs were on a lower floor and unharmed. You see it in Facebook comment threads all the time. Old retired people and covid/5G/WEF conspiracy nuts being fed endless videos by the algorithms. Bots spreading it. Any thread even remotely linked to EVs will have multiple “fire” comments.
