It often feels like EV fires make major headlines while ICE vehicle fires go under reported despite being order of magnitude more likely and common. Nice to see an ICE vehicle fire actually making media headlines for a change.

A car fire doesn’t have to mean more than a couple of wires catching fire due to an overheated engine.
It’s not like the infamous beancounter case where GM failed to recall cars where the gas tank had a high risk of catching fire.
Because it was cheaper to pay damages than to repair the car. Car fires are common, but deadly car fires are not.
Just because people die in a car that caught fire, doesn’t mean they died BECAUSE the car caught fire.
That’s the kind of fire we are talking about when an EV catches fire.
You’ve made it pretty clear that actual statistics aren’t enough for you to change your mind, so I don’t think there’s any point in continuing this conversation.
Those statistics are not specific on the things we are debating.
- You, yesterday.
You didn’t even bother to read my reply correcting your misinterpretation of that paragraph about all highway vehicles, so again, there’s no point in continuing. You are not arguing in good faith.
