To argue EV's are somehow more dangerous than a vehicle fitted with 100 litres (or there abouts) of highly flammable petroleum (plus a highly explosive fuel/air mix) beggars belief.
It totally ignores reality.
The NSW fire and rescue service attended to 24,026 vehicle fires in NSW since 2015 (spreadsheet freely available on their website)
When a car is engulfed, Fire and rescue don't give a toss about what sort of noxious gasses are being emitted, they are all bad, and don breathing apparatus EV or no EV.
But of those 24,026 fires 3 were EV car fires, one of which had its damaged battery pack removed but stored incorrectly next to it and some other vehicles (i.e. doesn't count)
So...you are 12,000 times more likely to have an ICE car fire than with an EV. 'nuff said?
