> Most of them start with small electrical fires that propagate and after a looooong time finally get to the gas, nothing will explode

You just need a fire in an enclosed space running for a bit of time.

I have seen the result of a house fire due to bad laptop battery.

Once a fire starts it's typically bad.

If you are worried about EVs catching fire, then any battery has the same risk percentage to start a fire. (defective samsung mobile phones is a good example of an issue and it being resolved)

Sure, it's much worse and much faster for an EV to catch fire. Still, a regular battery can kill you just as well.

I just leave my EV outside, I don't think it will catch fire, but if it does it won't kill me.

I also used to leave my gas car outside, I dont think that would catch fire either.

I havent seen too many regular consumer devices starting fires so that risk might be low.
