Your on the ball then! it was only three days agoSeen this numerous times on different forum's. So what! We know EVs can catch fire, as we also know ICE vehicle's catch fire, with disastrous results, as in Liverpool and Luton to name but Two. But for some reason with EVs it's a big deal, well to some people anyway.
Can't fail to be on the ball, as said it's on numerous forum's. I wonder how many ICE fires there have been in the World since that Merc caught fire, three days ago. My guess is quite a few. Heard about any?Your on the ball then! it was only three days ago
To be honest no i haven't heard of any ICE fires lately? if you are so clued up please enlighten me Nuff said
I haven't heard of any, that's my point, if it had been an EV fire, I probably would have. I would have been informed on a forum such as this, as they are regularly posted about for some reason.
Wonder if those figures have got any bearing on that there are millions of more ICE vehicles compared to EV? as Homer would say DohhAccording to the insurance statistics people it's still FAR more likely that your ICE will catch fire than your EV......so move those ICE cars away from your house.... now!
A study by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency. It concluded that EVs are 20 times less likely to catch fire than petrol and diesel cars.
With data corroborated from a US insurer, the study found that EVs suffer 25 fires per 100,000 sold.
Petrol or diesel vehicles were found to experience 1,530 fires per 100,000, with hybrid vehicles at a notably higher risk of 3,475 fires per 100,000.
Report says “Petrol or diesel vehicles were found to experience 1,530 fires per 100,000, with hybrid vehicles at a notably higher risk of 3,475 fires per 100,000.”

Lol - clutching at straws here.
And so it should there death traps waiting to happenLol - clutching at straws here.
When an electric car does catch fire, it tends to get more media attention because it’s great scaremongering - this sort of nonsense gets clicks.
The media makes it seem like it happens more often than it actually does.
A great example was the Luton fire, the fire service eventually categorically confirmed the fire was from a diesel vehicle, and NOT an EV or Hybrid - but that will never be well publicised.
Also try putting one out with either your foam fire extinguisher, or your powder one, or your water one? Oh sorry none of them work on EVs do theyAnd so it should there death traps waiting to happen

Most (though not all) ICE car fires start with fuel leaking on a hot surface (typically the exhaust). Some start with an electrical short circuit or water (coolant) leak on electrical components (I even had the 12V battery explode on me once, though it didn't start a fire, just badly messed-up the engine bay).
EV fires are usually caused by thermal runaway in a damaged or faulty cell (flammable coolant is no longer used).
Statistically, EVs are less likely to catch fire, but when they do, it can't be extinguished until the fire consumes itself.
Diesel oil burns horrifically, for hours, generating high temperatures, thick black smoke that (perhaps luckily) will kill you before the fire gets you.
