I'm not talking about ongoing statistics about fires in older cars, or singling out gasoline as the problem. Just look at recalls in the last few years alone for spontaneous fires in unattended vehicles. The 12V battery and associated electronics are more than capable of starting a fire, and once a car gets going, they all burn really hot and fast whether fueled by electrons or gasoline.

Do we have good numbers on EV fires now? Aside from what, 19 fires due to the faulty LG batteries in the Bolt, I don't hear a lot about spontaneous combustion being a thing. It's really hard to get anything like current numbers, but from the few places I've looked which try to collect such data, it seems that nearly all fires are secondary to impact damage.
