A quatrad of regular sources VS one Bostonglobe boi, who shall win?
In all seriousness though, “less” fires does not equal “it is a myth”. Never was I saying it wasn’t less. Is the goal here to show risks that do exist or just to be better than the alternative vehicle type in the name of filthy politics like a fandom?
Three things most such sources that advocate for electric cars will agree on though are the fires are more cause-based (hence what I was saying in the first place), harder to put out, and that the statistics are affected by stock and consumerbase.
It’s not a myth.
Seriously, what is it with enthusiasts and their belief in brand infallibility?
It is a myth.
EV fires: 25 per 100k cars.
ICE fires: 1529 per 100k cars.

The myth is that electric cars are more susceptible to fires, and they’re clearly not. It’s pure fear-mongering.
You say that like they don’t come with extra warnings.
