It’s not the lithium that ignites, it’s the electrolyte. Much less dangerous than gasoline, though
Less flammable, NOT less dangerous.
Gasoline evaporates very quickly, and gasoline fires are much easier to put out.
In terms of EVs vs. ICE, ICE cars tend to NOT ignire sitting around being shipped somewhere. Lithium-Ion rarely does, but when it does, it is a HUMDINGER.

Damaged battery packs often spontaneously ignite.
