Views on EV fires have been somewhat skewed by the
Chevy Bolt Debacle. Owners were contacted and told not to park their cars in their home garages for fear they would catch fire! The problem seems to have been manufacturing faults within the battery packs supplied by LG - In any case it cost GM dear, with a recall of 141,000 cars! Nevertheless, even though this made the headlines, the number of actual fires was statistically very low, although this is probably of little comfort if your house has just burned down.
