yeah, had this discussion before, I don't care about my credit rating in retirement either. That doesn't mean that don't pay my bills, I pay my bills on time or ahead of time, I let the credit agency do their ratings, while I do my financially responsible activities. Then i don't worry about what i can't control.

In the US there is frequently a huge difference in premium payments for insurance, for cars or houses, based on credit rating. Maybe even if the insurance company will cover someone. A scam, sure. But it exists.

It’s not a scam, property and casualty insurance companies are in the business of profitably underwriting, pricing, and diversifying risk. Statistically significant data has proven that customers with lower credit scores are more likely to file tenuous claims and are therefore riskier to insure. Hence the higher premiums based on inferior credit scores. Without this credit based pricing adjustment, everyone would be charged higher premiums, effectively requiring those with better credit to subsidize others.

"Get a horse!" is what they used to say in the early days of ICE powered vehicles which tended to get stuck in mud or otherwise break down.

Not that safe either, they can kick. My great, great, great grandfather got kicked in head and died in his early 60’s in late 1800’s

Maybe batteries are so small they can’t generate enough heat to catch fire?

Because it is so good for the environment!
Let us consider, for example, electric cars. To give an idea of this effect, producing a battery weighing 1,100 pounds emits over 70% more carbon dioxide than producing a conventional car in Germany, according to research by the automotive consultancy Berylls Strategy Advisors. Furthermore, lithium mining requires a lot of water. To extract one ton of lithium requires about 500,000 liters of water, and can result in the poisoning of reservoirs and related health problems.

Luton parking garage
Look up the Luton parking garage fire in England. There's a question of whether it started with a hybrid Range Rover or a gas powered car but the results were total devastation. The fire department had to let it burn.
