I have tried to understand the statistics which state that EV cars are less likely to catch fire than IC cars. In everything I have read, I have not seen anything which adjusts for the fact that IC cars have a much older vehicle park than EV cars and therefore will have more cars serviced outside of the main dealer network. The stats don't just need to look at the proportion of EV vs IC cars they need to reflect the fact that vehicle age and service history is going to play a part in the likelihood of a fire occurring.
