The overall numbers say that EVs are much less likely to catch fire than combustion-powered vehicles: EVs are responsible for about 25 fires per 100,000 vehicles sold. Conventional internal-combustion vehicles have about 1,530 fires per 100,000 vehicle sold, while hybrids have 3,475 fires per 100,000 vehicles sold. So overall, an EV is 60 times less-likely to catch fire than a conventional gas vehicle, while a hybrid is over 2 times more-likely to catch fire.
