The fire safety risk of lithium-ion batteries continues to drive conversations among safety professionals. However, it is difficult to answer definitively whether EVs are more or less dangerous than ICE vehicles. More research is needed to better understand the fire safety risks posed by EVs. Compared to ICE vehicle fires—which on average occur every 2 to 3 minutes in the United States—there are fewer electric vehicle fires. When EV fires do occur, though, they can pose unique challenges....
While NFPA publishes a report on vehicle fires in the U.S., existing data collection systems do not yet adequately measure the frequency of EV fires in the U.S. There is no current evidence to suggest EVs are more likely to be involved in a fire than ICE vehicles.
