Typical car gasoline fires are much milder by comparison to lithium-ion battery fires. I refuse to willingly get into any vehicle powered by lithium-ion batteries. By any chance have you looked up the comparative stats for car fires in IC cars and EVs? Or between newer EVs and the earlier models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if there is only one lithium-ion car fire per million gas car fires. Lithium-ion car fires shoot violent flames out the side and from underneath so there is no way to evacuate the car through the passenger doors with legs getting burned to a crisp. A gasoline fuel fire in the engine compartment is going to contain the flames there and allow human occupants a safe escape route from the car doorways on the sides.
