Are EVs Really Fire-Prone Death Traps?
Briefly

"Battery fires in electric vehicles typically happen due to a phenomenon called thermal runaway, where the battery cell increases in temperature faster than it can dissipate it. This can lead to catastrophic failures and fires."
"Despite the incidents highlighted in the media, it's critical to understand that the number of fires in electric vehicles is low compared to gasoline-powered cars, especially considering the growing number of EVs on the road."
"While EV fires may appear more dramatic due to how they are reported, the actual statistics indicate that the fire risk associated with electric vehicles isn’t as severe as perceived. It's crucial for consumers to differentiate between sensationalized coverage and factual data."
