Despite the recent high-profile EV fires causing public panic, statistics indicate a gas car is three times more likely to catch fire than an electric vehicle.
In South Korea, officials are introducing mandatory State of Charge limits in parking garages and at DC Fast Chargers to mitigate fears associated with electric vehicle fires.
With 544,000 EVs in Korea, only 157 fires have occurred since 2019, contrasting sharply with 10,950 gas vehicle fire reports, demonstrating the relative safety of EVs.
While high-profile EV fires have caught media attention, efforts to calm public concerns are underway, exemplified by recent governmental mandates focusing on safety.
