Misinformation does no-one any favours. If you are going to cherry pick articles written by people with a clear bias/agenda then that is no longer information/advice. Reliable sources with accurate studies that report on all sides of the argument are the way forward

Data obtained through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request revealed that in 2019 the London Fire Brigade dealt with 54 electric vehicle fires compared with 1,898 petrol and diesel, inclusive of hybrid fires.
Vehicle registration numbers from the Department for Transport (DfT) show there are 50,000-plus plug-in cars licensed in the capital out of a total 4.63 million licensed cars.
Looking at the London Fire Brigade data, that would suggest an incident rate of 0.04% for petrol and diesel car fires, while the rate for plug-in vehicle is more than double at 0.1%. So far this year, there have been 1,021 petrol and diesel fires and 27 EV fires in the capital.
Its too late for me to do the maths but, out of 4.63 million cars in the capital only a small proportion will be fully electric.
Its too early to get an overall accurate figure. As for EV’s depends what battery chemistry they use as some are safer than others.
It will be intersting out of the 6 main battery chemistry’s used in EV’s , have posed the highest to lowest fire risks in percentage terms.
