Combustible engines are more prone to fire but EV fires are a beast much harder to battle. They burn much hotter and are harder to put out. Meaning, they will always use a SHIT TON more water and more emergency resources (fire fighters) because they burn a lot hotter and a whole lot longer. They also risk reigniting.
Your house is on fire but the truck can’t get to you because it’s had a hose on a Tesla for 5 hrs.
