There are MANY , MANY more car fires involving ICE vehicles than EV’s …. Probably at least 10 to 1 but you can research that if you’re interested.

Granted , there are MANY, MANY more ICE vehicles than EV’s but guess what ?

The end result is the same ….. both cars will be totaled by the insurance companies………..

The point I was trying to make is that the sky, in fact , is not falling !!!
That is not the point. The point is that it takes several hours for a fire crew to extinguish, can use up to 3,000-8,000 gallons of water, releases highly toxic gas and has a greater tendency to explode. Yes both cars will be totalled but one is far more dangerous. You can research that if you’re interested.
