Passenger electric vehicles have a 0.0012 per cent chance of catching fire, according to research from EV FireSafe, which provides free EV fire safety knowledge for emergency responders. In comparison, petrol or diesel-powered cars have roughly a 0.1 per cent chance of igniting.

In other words, an EV passenger vehicle is around 100 times less likely to catch fire than a traditional vehicle. That said, the average EV is only four years old, while the average ICE vehicle is around 12 to 15 years old, which might have some impact on the figures.
