If you want to risk stratify your fear budget here is some data that will help you enjoy the fear of ICE vehicle fires instead of EVs.

"A study conducted by AutoinsuranceEZ, using data pulled from the National Transportation Safety Board and sales data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows an interesting statistic. As compiled by goodcarbadcar.net, hybrid vehicles have the greatest likelihood of catching fire at 3,474.5 incidents per 100,000 sales, followed by gas-powered cars at 1,529.9 incidents and, in third, electric vehicles at 25.1 incidents."

It's not just the risk of catching fire it's the intensity of the fires and the challenges putting them out and therefore the risk of spreading coupled with the ridiculous amount of toxins released (kind of counter to the good for the environment claim).

I’m just trying to help people fear based on data. It’s important to be apoplectic about things. I just want people to be incapacitated by anxiety based on risk.

I enjoy your humour, keep it coming but in the end what's happening is not covered up for all to see
