If so I'd like them to prove it. Far greater chance of an e-spastic vehicle battery doing its combustive thing than any diesel vehicle.
I would just like to say

If an EV is sat in a car park not plugged in why would it burst in flames? Unless an animal has gnawed cables, which is a risk for any vehicle. To many people not embracing either technology or the future. I can only imaging that is because of snobbery and ignorance. At the end of the day they are just tools like a mobile phone etc.

Was that an EV that burnt up on a mattress? I’m neither for or against EVs. My point embraces the constant need to blame EVs for everything whether spontaneous combustion or mineral mining. Some clever folk on here with inherent biases imo.

Not when they self-ignite, they're not...causing significant environmental damage/pollution, have emergency services near refusing to put out the fire and letting the EV infernos put themselves out. Then, having to place the burnt out enviro-polluter into steel containers for a month or so for fear the battery chemicals self-ignite. Not all is well with the EV world and it's about time people are open and honest about this manufacturer/Govt/media hyped up market. Let alone the poverty stricken children used to open cast mine the rare earth metals needed to produce these overheating batteries.
Of real concern is the speed, the rapidity, of an EV battery fire...

No of course not. I am relatively open minded about EV's (Honest!).
What I would like to know is the number of self-combusting ICE vehicles as a % of the total number currently in existence and the corresponding figure for EV's. That would probably close the debate completely.
