Original Note:
All EVs that use lithium battery technology are susceptible to thermal runaway, but they occur a much lower rate than internal combustion engines. Research by a Tesla critic in 2021 identified only 160 Tesla fires total, compared to 100k ICE fires every year. https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-elon-musk-ev-battery-fires-51632238510
