The probability of a fire in an electric vehicle (EV) is significantly lower compared to an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. According to recent data, EVs experience about 25 fires per 100,000 vehicles, while ICE vehicles experience approximately 1,500 fires per 100,000 vehicles annually.
This suggests that ICE vehicles are 20 to 80 times more likely to catch fire compared to EVs.

However, when EVs do catch fire, they can be more complex and challenging to manage due to factors like high temperatures, toxic gas emissions, and prolonged combustion.
