It’s true that lithium fires are much more intense than gasoline fires, but Data from the National Transportation Safety Board showed that EVs were involved in approximately 25 fires for every 100,000 sold. Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles and 3,475 hybrid vehicles were involved in fires for every 100,000 sold.

I wasn’t talking about rates, I was talking about severity, specifically with Tesla’s shit-ass engineering and quality control. The discussion was about the most hilarious way for Ol’ Donny Trump to wriggle his way into self-immolation, not whether EVs are statistically safer than ICE vehicles. But go off, I guess.
