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.
I just gave you a link to an article that touches on numbers
of fires per 100,000 sales in each category, ICE, EV, and
hybrid.
Hybrids did the worst, followed by ice, and then EVs.
I did look at more than one article, and they seemed to
agree on the overall gust of this.
If you can find an article that contrasts with these
numbers, post a link.
Thanks.
There are going to be reports that see to prove the
point of the ICE advocates and then the EV side of things.
