According to the directorate for social security and emergency preparedness in Norway, which has the highest proportion of electric car sales globally, there are between four to five times more fires in petrol and diesel cars compared to electric cars.

Furthermore, a study conducted by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency in 2022, determined that petrol and diesel cars and vans were nineteen times more likely to catch fire compared to their electric counterparts.

EV FireSafe, funded by Australia’s Department of Defence, investigated the issue as well. They found that there is a 0.0012 % chance of a passenger electric vehicle battery catching fire. In contrast, the chance of an internal combustion engine vehicle setting on fire is 0.1%.

catching fire whilst in use I can understand happened to me many yrs ago I drove over to a water trough and started bucketing ..poor old bull catcher . one of my favourites. Spontaneously bursting into a white hot fire that cannot be extinguished in a car port of under a house is another situation entirely . Ask a fireman what they think of them
