RE:RE:Fire in the holdwho else but the batboys are all pumped up from that amatuerish article.
Amateurish because it presented very little hard statistics other than a tiny snippet data from australia market. Why no EV vs ICE fire statistics from bigger EV market like in china, Norway, Sweden, germany but cherry picked 1 broad unprecise aspect of australian data without knowing what define a fire in their statistic? ,I also find the batboy isn't well read into the subject of EV. From other studies, it is shown fire statistic from hybrid, and PHEV are counted as ICE Fire, and no fire statistics (from hybrids and PHEV) get added to EV dataset. Hence, distorting the data without telling the readers that it is bias against ICE.
The difference of an EV and ICE fire is night and day. Most ICE fires are small varieties, can be extinguished if water or fire extinguisher is available. An EV fire goes to complete destruction of car and battery, you can't stop it. EV fire can also destroy nearby property because it can shoot out flames and/or explode. The fumes are toxic of complex compound with heavy metals.
