Proportionally because all the evs are essentially less than 10 years old, while even just the average ice vehicle is well over that?
You’re right about one thing. There are other ways ice vehicles catch fire besides leaky fuel systems. Like the electrical system that short out. Hmmm…I wonder if EV’s have much of an electrical system?
Seriously, though. That’s pretty much all vehicle caused fires. Electrical short or fuel leak in the engine compartment. You can get brake systems that cause it on trailers and commercial vehicles, but that doesn’t really happen on passenger vehicles very often at all, and could happen on an ev just the same anyhow.
They’re a lot less frequent proportionately. Not just by absolute numbers.
Also leaking fuel ignition is not the only way ICE vehicles can catch fire.
