Original Note:
Burning Teslas are significantly over-represented in news media: Per the NTSB (the regulators for cars): EV fires are 25 per 100,000 cars. ICE cares are 1,530 per 100,000, and hybrids are 3,475 per 100,000. That’s already adjusted for concentration. https://www.wirtzlaw.com/are-evs-at-higher-risk-of-catching-fire-than-conventional-gas-vehicles/#:~:text=EVs%20Pose%20Lower%20Overall%20Risk,100%2C000%20vehicles%20sold%20in%202020.
