Here is some data from FireSafe about EV fires worldwide and 4 in Australia.

From 2010 to June 2023, EV FireSafe recorded 393 verified passenger EV battery fires across the world, of which only four were in Australia. One was linked to arson and the other three vehicles were parked in structures that burned down.

As for the two fires in September 2023, one was caused by a damaged EV battery that had been removed from the vehicle. The other vehicle that caught fire also had a damaged battery, having been pierced by a large piece of road debris after the vehicle was struck at high speed by the tailshaft of a truck.

Here is a link to fire extinguisher online. Seems ICE vehicles are more the problem. EV fire fear mongering is just more misinformation and FUD from the ICE/FF mob. That said, I'm sure there is plenty of cheap chinese junk chargers and batteries going up in smoke.

Now if someone could show me data on how many residences have burnt down in Australia due to an EV fire.
