World wide here have been hundreds of cases from BEV's to bicycles spontaneously combusting. If you think BEV's are less polluting you need to do some research. Li Ion batteries are unstable, even a huge cargo ship was sunk recently when the BEV's it was carrying caught fire.
IMO the problem is not cars or fossil fuels, it's over population.
Overpopulation a massive issue but they didn't want to offend the catholics or Muslims so they all pretended it wasn't an issue.
Lithium cells are prone to runaway heating and fire. There are developments in the pipeline to fix it (hydrogel stuff) but the modern ones in cars are way better than the old ones. I think Guy Martin covered this in his EV programme.
