EVs are safer than internal-combustion vehicles, especially when properly handled and maintained.
The Fremantle Highway cargo ship caught fire earlier this summer, blamed on an EV or EVs among the 3784 Mercedes-Benz and BMW models on board, of which 498 were battery-electric.
In the early days of the automobile, attached garages were considered a bad idea. Why park a car with a filled gas tank in a building attached to the rooms where we eat and sleep? Regarding the Chevy Bolts, GM recommended owners park the car outside and limit the maximum charge to 90%, which plays a factor if there is a fault in the battery, he says. “Moreover, nickel-based chemistries seem to last longer when regularly charged to 80% or 90%.”The New York Times
“When you look at e-bike and e-scooter fires, the likelihood of those problems is a lot higher—or at least it’s easier to call the componentry into question. For automakers, they spend a lot of effort to eliminate those faults and make sure the battery is still safe when there is a fault. Over-engineering is a lot cheaper than replacing tens of thousands of battery packs in a recall.
