  • I haven’t seen the evidence to suggest that BEV fires are orders of magnitude more dangerous, as you claim. I have seen the evidence to suggest that they are orders of magnitude less likely.

    Yes they burn hotter and are harder to extinguish, but I understand that generally they spread slower and with more warning, allowing greater time for escape (unless you are stuck in a Tesla and haven’t read the manual cover to cover).

    ICE cars are more likely to explode, BEV cars take longer (in general) to become fully engulfed.

    If there is a credible evidence source / study looking at fatalities per fire (which corrects for the stupid door handles) then I’d be very interested to read it.
