- silverscania2 2y ago> An analysis of car fire reports from 2012 to 2022 revealed that a passenger EV battery has a 0.0012% of catching fire, while the same sample indicates that ICE cars have a 0.1% chance of catching fire.

Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles and 3,475 hybrid vehicles were involved in fires for every 100,000 sold." https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/environment-energy-coordination/climate-matters/EV-less-fire-risk https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/environment-energy-coordinatio...
- mirekrusin 2y agoSounds like some "forgot to mention year sold/age" shenanigans.
- jewayne 2y agoYeah, there really should be something akin to human mortality risks available, but for cars. Human mortality is always divided up by age, and various car risks should also be divided up by model year.
- audunw 2y ago20 times less likely compare to an ICE vehicles of similar model and age. The amount of EVs on the road in Norway is fairly close to the number of ICE vehicles. So the statistics coming from those areas are very robust.
- Thlom 2y agoEveryone I know and almost every neighbor has an EV. Basically every new car sold is an EV. None of these EV's have catched on fire as far as I know. It's not really a problem.
