IMO when electric cars self ignite, it can be a very dangerous ignition source of gas stations

Are electric cats more likely to "self ignite" then other cars? I doubt it.

You realize every ICE vehicle that drives into the gas station has little explosions going on inside of it, right?

You know internal combustion engines have spark arrestors by regulation.

Your point still kind of stands: ICE engines aren't without fire risks.

And yet, engine fires still happen, and yet gas stations reason for existence is literally so gas powered cars can come up to it.
