Those are interesting numbers. I wish there was more detail. For example, I'd hate to diss on buying gas cars made in the past 20 or so years if most of the 1,529 gas car fires are from the 40 years or older gas cars still on the road. The same for dissing buying a new EV if most of the 25 EV fires are from early model Teslas and Chevy Bolts.
You can bet that those stats are manipulated. And not all gas car fires result in the total destruction of the vehicle. While I’ll bet that the vast majority of the EV fires do.
Prius’ have a “burning down the garage” problem.
The Biggest Problem with Gas cars is High Pressure Rubber Fuel lines only last about 15 years, and high pressure Fuel Systems were universal when Carbs went away 35 years ago.
