of the 253m cars on the road, 172,500 had a fire.

the odds of your car having a fire is about 1 in 1467

another factor in these numbers would be miles driven, which is not available.

there are about 450,000 electric cars on the road. there are no stats in miles driven or total number of electric car fires. anything less then 300 would imply a better car-on-fire stat... but miles driven would have to be factored in to be accurate

the one interesting Ning to note about electric cars... you could dnload software via the ‘pump’ when they are refueled. they are also very susceptible to remote shutoff and remote take over (there’s a reporter that has personal knowledge of this fact)

All I can think of is what if an electric car’s battery gets punctured.

“...at roughly 1 in 8,000 vehicles, are five times lower than those of an average gasoline car,”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Can’t take people seriously when they use mathematical absurditites like five times lower. Just when did we reach the point that college graduates feel compelled to speak in such ridiculous language that what they say literally has no discernible meaning so that you have to try to figure out what they are trying to say? Then when you call them on it they have the audacity to say that, “Everyone else knows what I mean.” Wouldn’t it be easier for them to just say what they mean rather than making up such stupid expressions as five times lower?

Well, there may not be a fire, but you might get drenched with electrolyte.

The fact they have to point this out tells me a lot about electric cars!

Formula E was like watching a golf cart race...BORING.
