Preemptively, for the rhetorical response: "it's only a small percentage".
Doesn't matter. You can never know if your EV in your garage will be the one to ignite until it happens. Unlike most ICE vehicles that at least give you heads-up about potential failures (warning lights, strange noises/smells, etc.,), the biggest danger from EVs occurs when you're not even in the vehicle.

You know what is also wildly explosive?
Gasoline.
By the way, the biggest danger from EV's is when you crash them.
You've seen too many movies.
Gasoline isn't explosive. It's flammable.
Gasoline vapor mixed with enough oxygen is explosive. Which is why we have technologies like carburetors and fuel injection to mix it correctly.
Good thing oxygen isn't in the atmosphere, otherwise gasoline powered cars would be dangerous.
I don't honestly know what you are all trying so hard to defend here.
