There is a a lot of FUD (Fear uncertainty and Doubt) about EV’s suddenly catch fire or exploding.
The truth is they are way less prone to catching fire than gas Vehicles.
First picture explains this pretty clearly but I’ll explain further:
• Data from the U.S. NTSB showed that EVs were involved in approximately 25 fires for every 100,000 sold. Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles and 3,475 hybrid vehicles were involved in fires for every 100,000 sold.
• Tesla's latest vehicle fire data (shared in 2022) shows that between 2012 and 2022, approximately one Tesla vehicle fire event occurred for every 130 million vehicle miles traveled. By comparison, data from the NFPA and U.S. DOT indicate that one vehicle fire occurs in the US for every 18 million miles traveled. Compared to average vehicles on the road, Tesla vehicles are comparatively even less likely to be involved in a fire event than these numbers suggest, because Tesla's data includes fire events that are caused by structure fires, wildfires, arson, and other causes unrelated to the vehicle, whereas the NFPA data excludes any fires where a structure is involved.
Moving on a Cybertruck exploded in front of the trump hotel. This was likely or said to be so far an Act of terrorism. They have already confirmed that this was not the truck and in fact according to the investigation the truck actually helped to prevent casualties as it was stainless steel and withstood the blast.
The second picture is the truck bed of Cybertruck filled with firework mortars, gasoline and other flammable material. Important to not that this truck was rented from Turo.
Don’t let the mainstream media give you fake information on EV’s. Do some actual research and you will find they are safer, more affordable and way cheaper than your gas vehicles.

Oh and Happy New Year!
