The numbers you're reporting don't specify what type of vehicles were on fire. You're going to have to get a little less casual if you want to find some numbers that actually mean anything.

One other thing I couldn't find in a casual skimming of that article is how many of those fires were due to accidents as opposed to spontaneous bursts of flame.

If data backing your claim was so easy to find, maybe you'd have given something that's actually meaningful to the discussion. And no, "vehicle fires happen all the time" is not a useful observation in the context of this discussion.

What percentage of that 212,500 do you think are from electric vehicles? Make a prediction, then I'll go look it up.

Make a prediction faggot. How many of those 212,500 vehicle fires were electric? Pick a number.

You're the one making the claims, you bring the numbers, midwit.

In 2020 out of a total of 215,636 vehicle fires, 52 were electric vehicles. 0.02%

Since about 1% of the cars on the road are electric, this means a gas powered vehicle is about 50 times more likely to catch on fire. Since you're a super genius, you likely already suspected this and were just lying to farm upvotes because green = libs = bad.
