They will be improved greatly until they never catch on fire. Gasoline engines STILL catch on fire EVEN after 125 years of safety development. That's why Electric Vehicles are superior to gas.
......Plus advantages of lower center of gravity, fewer moving parts, no pistons, greater acceleration, and ultimately (after a few years) much better safety and lower maintenance.

The batteries in an EV make the vehicle have a lower center of gravity than an IC vehicle. Lower center of gravity allows a vehicle to BRAKE faster........maybe (?) that could save someone's life.

Then why won't you purchase an EV?
