Is that by numbers or by percentages? Do you have any numbers? I have no clue what the percentage might be. Obviously there are still a lot more ICEVs on the road, so of course there will be more ICEV fires. And they're all running round crashing into each other with this dangerous flammable liquid in them. Since the petrol-microbrains are almost certain to jump on this EV news with both clown feet, I wonder how often ICEVs catch fire *during shipping*. Seems to me that they must have at least some fuel in them when they go on the boat or rail car. They come off the line that way, or at least they did in the late 1960s when I toured the Ford plant in Dearborn, and watched their yahoos light up the Mustangs' tires as they came off the line (all part of Ford's new car break-in service, I guess).
