"...an EV battery fire is bad news. It burns hot and is hard to extinguish. Indeed it can ignite again after several days...burning isn't a battery's sole purpose in life. Whereas a combustion car carries a tankful of stuff whose one job is catching rapidly on fire."The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) reported 23 fires [out of] 611,000 EVs during 2022, or 0.004 per cent in a year, which makes it 20 times less likely to happen than ICE car fires, which burned 3,400 times in 4.4 million cars, or 0.08 per cent."
