Ah yes. Less fuel for when it spontaneously combusts. Jokes on us, i guess?

Another one falling for the propaganda I see.

From a simple google search: “A recent study conducted by AutoInsuranceEZ using data from the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) showed that electric cars in the US caught fire at a rate of 25.1 per 100,000 sales compared to 1,530 for ICE vehicles and 3,475 for hybrids.”

Or if you want the statistic in car fires per distance drive, here you go: “Tesla, which makes more than half of the electric vehicles sold in the U.S., reports five car fires per billion miles driven, compared with 55 fires per billion miles driven in gas-powered cars.”
