I don't know if that number means anything on its own. There are many more conventional cars including some older ones often maintained by shade tree mechanics.

I don't know if that number means anything on its own. There are many more conventional cars including some older ones often maintained by shade tree mechanics. Newer electric cars are relatively expensive and have owners who probably don't fiddle with things like that. I'd be more interested in what percentage of electric cars catch have fire as compared to the percentage of late model conventional cars catching fire. Gas cars could be more dangerous. It's just that the number 250K doesn't mean much without more information.
