I think people should know that EVs come with the same risks as ICE cars. It's old news that ICE cars catch on fire. They've been around 100+ years in one form or another, why would we report on it? I mean there's a tank full of volatile fuel in the car.

EVs are new still. They're hyped and covered like crazy by the media in a lot of positive ways, so why should they not get equal press coverage when there is negative news? Once EVs hit a certain mass, they won't be novel anymore, and nobody will care.
