"Fires because of battery manufacturing defects are really very rare, especially in electric vehicles, because they also have battery management systems." Matthew McDowell, Georgia Tech's Advanced Battery Center, emphasizes the reliability of EV batteries, attributing their stability and lower fire risk to advanced battery management technologies that monitor the cells to prevent malfunctions.
"It makes more sense to worry about a gas-powered vehicle going up in flames than an electric vehicle, since EVs are less likely to catch fire than their more traditional transportation counterparts." This statement alludes to statistical data which shows that conventional vehicles pose greater risks of fire incidents compared to electric vehicles, providing a perspective that may ease public concern.
