The # of fires is irrelevant without that information...
Google is your friend

Three articles reference the same study. Numbers given in fires/100K sales of vehicle types.

Possibly deceptive statistics. If the vehicles that burned were older the statistics would be skewed since EVs are relatively new. Would be interesting to see fires/100K in model year.
