The number of fires should increase if age was a linear factor. Could be non linear of course.
> Furthermore, fires in electric cars are declining. The MSB says the number of fires in electric cars has been around 20 a year over the last three years, although the number of electric cars over that tie has almost doubled. Presumably, this is due to EV makers improving fire suppressing designs in newer models.
article directly says that there's an exploding growth of new vehicles, thus "average car" hasn't aged yet
I'm not arguing against EVs being more safe, I'm arguing against awful statistics of comparing "new EVs against aging ICE" while only saying "EV vs ICE"
Every year the existing cars age by a year, and the number of cars has only grown, never declined. So you would think that the “20 a year” would increase with that if age was a linear factor, not stay stationary.
