In the same vein - I know just one person whose car has spontaneously caught fire, it was a Toyota RAV4 and this was just before any mainstream EV was available to purchase! They were driving on a motorway, saw smoke, pulled over and got out, and hadn’t been able to retrieve any luggage or anything before it was completely in flames.

Yes, there’s a risk with EVs, but there is plenty of risk with ICE cars too!
