The odds of an EV catching fire are lower than for a gasoline vehicle.
And safer, less-flammable kinds of battery are in development. Less-flammable kinds of gasoline are not.
And safer, less-flammable kinds of battery are in development. Less-flammable kinds of gasoline are not.
Or is it comparing with the entire gasoline vehicle fleet?
My mistake.
I'm not buying it and you shouldn't be selling it.
Lithium batteries are pretty safe in practice.
Safe enough to not be allowed in checked baggage on commercial passenger aircraft.
Safe enough to kill e-bike riders, safe enough to kill people at home charging their e-bike / e-scooter / electric car.
Perfectly safe.
No trade offs, just safety.
And yet, people travel with one or often more than one battery devices as a matter of utterly unremarkable routine.
