I've been googling, and I can't find clear support for this claim. I DID find evidence that electric car fires are MUCH less common than gasoline car fires.
According to recent data, EVs experience about 25 fires per 100,000 vehicles, compared to 1,500 fires per 100,000 ICE vehicles annually. While less common, EV fires are more complex and challenging to manage due to factors like high temperatures, toxic gas emissions, and prolonged combustion. -- Jan 13, 2025
