Yes, during the “early years” , there were issues with batteries overheating and catching fire mainly due to overcharging or charging improperly.

However, the technology has evolved to the point where it is extremely rare that we hear of any issues today....
The Tesla that just recently crashed and in the news:

Firefighters spent four hours trying to extinguish the fire and used 32,000 gallons of water because Tesla's lithium-ion batteries kept reigniting.
