When and how often, by comparison, do gasoline or diesel cars go up in flames on there own?

Like scooters, have cities and insurance companies banned electric cars from being parked indoors?

Does a fire caused by an EV count toward one’s carbon footprint? ‘Cause I’m thinking that good intentions ought to count for something. Maybe just paving the aay to Hell, but if you get there in an EV, who knows. Maybe get an aisle seat, or something.

"The cause of the fire was unknown but what appeared to be a charging chord..."

Was it a major chord or a minor chord? I'd wager it was a minor chord because it sounds sad and somewhat dark.

The MESSAGE that one sends by owning an EV is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than whether it burns the neighbor’s house down.

Charging chord or possibly a power line was seen draped across the front of the vehicle as it was burning.

There was no word on whether the car was charging at the time of the fire.

Isn’t that neat how one EV fire affects others in the neighbor hood.? There’s a lesson here if anyone would care to learn it.
