That’s true, but stats also reveal that EVs around a 0.03%
risk of igniting, and ICE cars have a 1.5% chance.
I’m not here to say the EVs aren’t problematic, it’s just
that I’m sick and tired of the pile on.
Both ICE cars and EVs have issues.
At 18 years of age, I watched an infant burn up in an ICE
vehicle that had been rear ended.
It burned so hot men couldn’t get close enough to the car
to open the door and pull the baby out, and there was the
danger of a significant explosion any second.
I just die the math based on your number of 174,000 and I looked up and found the number of registered vehicles to be around 290 million in the US. Only 2 million EV’s less than 2 years ago.
The math shows more like .06%
You need to check your stats on EV’s too. Because there is no way they have less fires as a total percentage as Ice Cars.
And ICE car fires don’t take thousands of gallons of water to put out, and they don’t even come close to same environmental damage during the burn. If you catch a breath of an EV fire there is a possibility it can kill you outright in a very short time. And the chemicals that leak into the environments are just horrible. Many of them going very deep into the ground water. Most ICE fires are going to be put out in mere moments.
