It’s not the lithium that ignites, it’s the electrolyte.
Much less dangerous than gasoline, though

But heavier, so stationary applications.

What is less dangerous than gasoline, lithium electrolyte or sodium?

Lithium battery fires are almost impossible to extinguish. They have to simply run their course. I don't see how that is safer than gasoline.

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.
